Given the parabola and its focus coincides with one of the foci of the ellipse , then
Problem 16
Pick one
Official solution
Solution: The focus of the parabola is , and one of the foci of the ellipse is . For them to coincide, we get ,
solving this gives .
Therefore, the correct choice is: .
To solve this problem, we find the coordinates of the focus of the parabola and ensure it coincides with the focus of the ellipse, then solve for .
This question tests the application of simple properties of ellipses and parabolas, as well as computational skills.
