Let x2a2+y2b2=1a>b be a given ellipse, length of whose latus rectum is 10. If its eccentricity is the maximum value of the function, ϕt=512+t-t2, then a2+b2 is equal to :
  1. 145
  2. 116
  3. 126
  4. 135

Solution

LR=2b2a=10    b2=5a

ϕt=512t2-t+1414=512+14t122

=23t122

max ϕt=23=e

b2=a21e2

5a=a2149

  5=59a

   a2=81,  b2=45

a2+b2=126.
