Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\frac{8}{5} \sqrt{2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Substitute \(y=x+1\) into \(\frac{x^2}{4}+y^2=1\): \(\frac{x^2}{4}+(x+1)^2=1\) \(x^2+4(x^2+2x+1)=4\) \(x^2+4x^2+8x+4=4\) \(5x^2+8x=0\) \(x(5x+8)=0\) \(x_1=0, x_2=-\frac{8}{5}\) Find corresponding y-coordinates: \(y_1=0+1=1\) \(y_2=-\frac{8}{5}+1=-\frac{3}{5}\) The intersection…
