Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \((3+8 \cos \theta, 4 \sqrt{3} \sin \theta)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( (h,k) = \left( \frac{-1+7}{2}, \frac{0+0}{2} \right) = (3,0) \) \( 2c = 7 - (-1) = 8 \Rightarrow c = 4 \) \( e = \frac{c}{a} \Rightarrow \frac{1}{2} = \frac{4}{a} \Rightarrow a = 8 \) \( b^2 = a^2 - c^2 = 8^2 - 4^2 = 64 - 16 = 48 \Rightarrow b = \sqrt{48} = 4\sqrt{3} \)…
