  1. A \(( \pm 5,0)\)
  2. B \((0, \pm 3)\)
  3. C \((0, \pm 5)\)
  4. D \(( \pm 3,0)\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \((0, \pm 5)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Differentiate implicitly: \(\frac{2x}{9} + \frac{2y}{25}\frac{dy}{dx} = 0\) Set \(\frac{dy}{dx}=0\): \(\frac{2x}{9} + \frac{2y}{25}(0) = 0 \Rightarrow \frac{2x}{9} = 0 \Rightarrow x=0\) Substitute \(x=0\) into ellipse equation:…
