Let x2a2+y2b2=1,a>b be an ellipse, whose eccentricity is 12 and the length of the latus rectum is 14. Then the square of the eccentricity of x2a2y2b2=1 is:
  1. 3
  2. 72
  3. 32
  4. 52

Solution

Given: Length of latus rectum of ellipse is 14.

2b2a=14   ...i

Also, eccentricity is given as 12

12=1b2a2

12=1b2a2

12=1a142a2

-12=142a

a=14

a2=14, b2=7

Now, eH=1+b2a2

eH=1+12

eH=32

eH2=32
