(D) Given the ellipse equation $\frac{x^2}{4} + y^2 = 1$ and the line $y = x + 1$. Substitute $y = x + 1$ into the ellipse equation: $\frac{x^2}{4} + (x + 1)^2 = 1$ $\frac{x^2}{4} + x^2 + 2x + 1 = 1$ $\frac{5x^2}{4} + 2x = 0$ $x(\frac{5x}{4} + 2) = 0$ So,$x_1 = 0$ and $x_2 = -\frac{8}{5}$. Corresponding $y$ values are $y_1 = 0 + 1 = 1$ and $y_2 = -\frac{8}{5} + 1 = -\frac{3}{5}$. The points of intersection are $P(0, 1)$ and $Q(-\frac{8}{5}, -\frac{3}{5})$. The length of the chord $PQ$ is $\sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2}$. Length $= \sqrt{(-\frac{8}{5} - 0)^2 + (-\frac{3}{5} - 1)^2}$ $= \sqrt{(-\frac{8}{5})^2 + (-\frac{8}{5})^2} = \sqrt{\frac{64}{25} + \frac{64}{25}} = \sqrt{\frac{128}{25}} = \frac{8\sqrt{2}}{5}$.

The length of the chord of the ellipse $\frac{x^2}{4} + y^2 = 1$ formed on the line $y = x + 1$ is
