QJEEM22Ma5b95: JEE Main 2022 Mathematics - Class 11 JEEM22Ma5b95 Solution: Let the hyperbola and the ellipse be such that the length of…

Let the hyperbola H:x2a2−y2=1H:{{{x^2}} \over {{a^2}}} - {y^2} = 1 and the ellipse E:3x2+4y2=12E:3{x^2} + 4{y^2} = 12 be such that the length of latus rectum of H is equal to the length of latus rectum of E. If eH{e_H} and eE{e_E} are the eccentricities of H and E respectively, then the value of 12(eH2+eE2)12\left( {e_H^2 + e_E^2} \right) is equal to ___________.

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

∵\because H:x2a2−y21=1H:{{{x^2}} \over {{a^2}}} - {{{y^2}} \over 1} = 1

∴\therefore Length of latus rectum =2a= {2 \over a}

E:x24+y23=1E:{{{x^2}} \over 4} + {{{y^2}} \over 3} = 1

Length of latus rectum =62=3= {6 \over 2} = 3

∵\because 2a=3⇒a=23{2 \over a} = 3 \Rightarrow a = {2 \over 3}

∴\therefore 12(eH2+eE2)=12(1+94)+(1−34)=4212\left( {e_H^2 + e_E^2} \right) = 12\left( {1 + {9 \over 4}} \right) + \left( {1 - {3 \over 4}} \right) = 42
