Question

The equation of the tangents drawn at the ends of the major axis of the ellipse 9x² + 5y² – 30y = 0 are-

• A. y = ±3
• B. x = ±$\sqrt{5}$
• C. y = 0, y = 6
• D. None of these

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

y = 0, y = 6

Answer 2

The ellipse is $\frac{x^{2}}{5}$+ $\frac{(y - 3)^{2}}{9}$ = 1

a² = 5, b² = 9 b > a
