Question

the eccentricity of the conic section shown is______.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the formula for eccentricity of conic sections

The eccentricity \(e\) of a conic section is given by \(e=\frac{c}{a}\). For a circle, \(c = 0\) (where \(c\) is the distance from the center to the focus) and \(a\) is the radius.

Step2: Calculate the eccentricity

Substitute \(c = 0\) into the formula \(e=\frac{c}{a}\). Since \(a
eq0\) (radius of a non - degenerate circle), \(e=\frac{0}{a}=0\)

Answer:

\(0\)
