QJEEM22Ma7773: JEE Main 2022 Mathematics - Class 11 JEEM22Ma7773 Solution: Let , a > 0, b > 0, be a hyperbola such that the sum of lengths …

Let H:x2a2−y2b2=1H:{{{x^2}} \over {{a^2}}} - {{{y^2}} \over {{b^2}}} = 1 , a > 0, b > 0, be a hyperbola such that the sum of lengths of the transverse and the conjugate axes is 4(22+14)4(2\sqrt 2 + \sqrt {14} ) . If the eccentricity H is 112{{\sqrt {11} } \over 2} , then the value of a2 + b2 is equal to __________.

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

2a+2b=4(22+14)2a + 2b = 4\left( {2\sqrt 2 + \sqrt {14} } \right) ...... (1)

1+b2a2=11141 + {{{b^2}} \over {{a^2}}} = {{11} \over {14}} ....... (2)

⇒b2a2=74\Rightarrow {{{b^2}} \over {{a^2}}} = {7 \over 4} ....... (3)

and a+b=42+214a + b = 4\sqrt 2 + 2\sqrt {14} ...... (4)

By (3) and (4)

⇒a+72a=42+214\Rightarrow a + {{\sqrt 7 } \over 2}a = 4\sqrt 2 + 2\sqrt {14}

⇒a(2+7)2=22(2+7)\Rightarrow {{a\left( {2 + \sqrt 7 } \right)} \over 2} = 2\sqrt 2 \left( {2 + \sqrt 7 } \right)

⇒a=42⇒a2=32\Rightarrow a = 4\sqrt 2 \Rightarrow {a^2} = 32 and b2=56{b^2} = 56

⇒a2+b2=32+56=88\Rightarrow {a^2} + {b^2} = 32 + 56 = 88
