LinearEccentricity[ <Conic> ]
Calculates the linear eccentricity of the conic section.

For ellipses or hyperbolas: gives the distance between the conic's center and one of its foci.

Example: LinearEccentricity[4x^2 - y^2 + 16x + 20 = 0] returns 2.24


For circles: gives 0

For parabolas: gives the distance between the focus and the vertex
