If e1{e}_{1} and e2{e}_{2} are the eccentricities of a hyperbola 3x2−3y2=253x^{2} - 3y^{2} = 25& and its conjugate, then

Options

  1. Ae12+e22=2{e}_{1}^{2} + {e}_{2}^{2} = 2
  2. Be12+e22=4{e}_{1}^{2} + {e}_{2}^{2} = 4
  3. Ce1+e2=4{e}_{1} + {e}_{2} = 4
  4. De1+e2=2{e}_{1} + {e}_{2} = \sqrt{2}

Correct answer

B. e12+e22=4{e}_{1}^{2} + {e}_{2}^{2} = 4

Step-by-step solution

Given equation can be written as

x2−y2=253x^{2} - y^{2} = \dfrac{25}{3}

∴e1=1+b2a2∴ {e}_{1} = \sqrt{1 + \dfrac{b2}{a2}}

=1+1=2= \sqrt{1 + 1} = \sqrt{2}

The equation of conjugate hyperbola is

−x2+y2=253- x^{2} + y^{2} = \dfrac{25}{3}

∴e2=1+b2a2=1+1=2∴ {e}_{2} = \sqrt{1 + \dfrac{b2}{a2}} = \sqrt{1 + 1} = \sqrt{2}

∴e12+e22=(2)2+(2)2=4∴ {e}_{1}^{2} + {e}_{2}^{2} = \left(\sqrt{2}\right)^{2} + \left(\sqrt{2}\right)^{2} = 4

Hence, e12+e22=4{e}_{1}^{2} + {e}_{2}^{2} = 4.
