Let the foci and length of the latus rectum of an ellipse x2a2+y2b2=1\dfrac{{x}^{2}}{{a}^{2}} + \dfrac{{y}^{2}}{{b}^{2}} = 1, a>ba > b be (±5,0)\left(\pm 5, 0\right) and 50\sqrt{50}, respectively. Then, the square of the eccentricity of the hyperbola x2b2−y2a2b2=1\dfrac{{x}^{2}}{{b}^{2}} - \dfrac{{y}^{2}}{{a}^{2}{b}^{2}} = 1 equals

Correct answer

51

Step-by-step solution

Given,

Ellipse x2a2+y2b2=1\dfrac{{x}^{2}}{{a}^{2}} + \dfrac{{y}^{2}}{{b}^{2}} = 1

And its focii ≡(±5,0) anditslatusrectum≡ \left(\pm 5, 0\right) and its latusrectum\dfrac{2{b}^{2}}{a} = \sqrt{50}</p><p>So,</p><p>So,ae = 5andand{b}^{2} = \dfrac{5\sqrt{2}a}{2}</p><p>Now,usingtheformulaeccentricityweget,</p><p></p><p>Now, using the formula eccentricity we get,</p><p>{b}^{2} = {a}^{2}\left(1 - {e}^{2}\right) = \dfrac{5\sqrt{2}a}{2}</p><p></p><p>⇒ a\left(1 - {e}^{2}\right) = \dfrac{5\sqrt{2}}{2}{asa≠0}\left\{\text{as}a \ne 0\right\}

⇒5e(1−e2)=522⇒ \dfrac{5}{e}\left(1 - {e}^{2}\right) = \dfrac{5\sqrt{2}}{2}

⇒2−2e2=e⇒ \sqrt{2} - \sqrt{2}{e}^{2} = e

⇒2e2+e−2=0⇒ \sqrt{2}{e}^{2} + e - \sqrt{2} = 0

⇒2e2+2e−e−2=0⇒ \sqrt{2}{e}^{2} + 2e - e - \sqrt{2} = 0

⇒2e(e+2)−1(1+2)=0⇒ \sqrt{2}e\left(e + \sqrt{2}\right) - 1\left(1 + \sqrt{2}\right) = 0

⇒(e+2)(2e−1)=0⇒ \left(e + \sqrt{2}\right)\left(\sqrt{2}e - 1\right) = 0

∴e≠−2;e=12∴ e \ne - \sqrt{2}; e = \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}}

⇒a=52⇒ a = 5\sqrt{2} and b=5b = 5

Now, finding eccentricity of hyperbola,

x2b2−y2a2b2=1\dfrac{{x}^{2}}{{b}^{2}} - \dfrac{{y}^{2}}{{a}^{2}{b}^{2}} = 1 

We know that formula of eccentricity of hyperbola is given by, B2=A2(eH2−1){B}^{2} = {A}^{2}\left({{e}_{H}}^{2} - 1\right) where A2=b2 and B2=a2b2{A}^{2} = {b}^{2} \text{ and } {B}^{2} = {a}^{2}{b}^{2}

⇒a2b2=b2(eH2−1)⇒ {a}^{2}{b}^{2} = {b}^{2}\left({e}_{H}^{2} - 1\right)

⇒a2=(eH2−1)⇒ {a}^{2} = \left({e}_{H}^{2} - 1\right)

⇒50=(eH2−1)⇒ 50 = \left({e}_{H}^{2} - 1\right)

⇒eH2=51⇒ {e}_{H}^{2} = 51
