Answer :
Given the equation of the ellipse is 4x2 + 9y2 = 1.
We need to find the eccentricity, coordinates of foci and length of latus rectum.

Given equation can be rewritten as
.
We know for the ellipse
(a2>b2)
⇒ ![]()
⇒ Coordinates of foci (±ae,0)
⇒ Length of latus rectum = ![]()
Here
and
, a2>b2
⇒ 
⇒ 
⇒ ![]()
⇒ ![]()
⇒ ![]()
⇒ ![]()
⇒ Length of latus rectum (L) = ![]()
⇒ ![]()
∴ The eccentricity is
, foci are
and length of the latus rectum is
.
