The ratio of the distance between the foci and the length of the <em>major</em> axis is called eccentricity.

<h3>Definitions of dimensions in ellipses</h3>

Dimensionally speaking, an ellipse is characterized by three variables:

  1. Length of the <em>major</em> semiaxis (a).
  2. Length of the <em>minor</em> semiaxis (b).
  3. Distance between the foci and the center of the ellipse (c).

And there is the following relationship:

c = \sqrt{a^{2}-b^{2}} (1)

Another variable that measure how "similar" is an ellipse to a circle is the eccentricity (e), which is defined by the following formula:

e = \frac{c}{a}, 0 \ge c \ge 1 (2)

The greater the eccentricity, the more similar the ellipse to a circle.

Therefore, the ratio of the distance between the foci and the length of the <em>major</em> axis is called eccentricity. \blacksquare

Which point do all exponential functions of the form y=a^x pass through
Bezzdna [24]
The answer should be A.

When we see the equation y=a^x we can relate to all the exponential functions, however, when the problem asked what points does all equations in that form pass through. I was instantly reminded by two facts.

One is that any number to the first is equal to itself. In other words, a^1=a

Another is that any number to the zero is equal to 1. a^x=1
if that is true, 1 will always be the x value since y=a^x and 0 will always be the x value because that is how y can be equal to one.
therefore, the answer is A: (0,1)
