Correct answer: 42
- Write both conics in standard form
The hyperbola is which can be written as So for the hyperbola,
The ellipse is Dividing by , So for the ellipse,
- Use latus rectum lengths
For a hyperbola , the length of latus rectum is Here , so
For an ellipse , the length of latus rectum is Here and , so
Given ,
Thus for the hyperbola,
- Find eccentricity of the hyperbola
For the hyperbola, So,
- Find eccentricity of the ellipse
For the ellipse,
- Compute the required value
Therefore,
- Comparison with stored answer
Derived answer = .
Stored correct answer = .
They agree.
