LE the common tangents to the curves $4 (x^{2} + y^{2}) = 9$ and y2 = 4x intersect at the point Q. Let an ellipse, centered at the origin O, has lengths of semi-minor and semi-major axes equal to OQ and 6, respectively. If e and $l$ respectively denote the eccentricity and the length of the latus rectum of this ellipse, then $\frac{l}{e^{2}}$ is equal to

Let y = mx + c is the common tangent

$s o c = \frac{1}{m} = \pm \frac{3}{2} \sqrt[]{1 + m^{2}} \Rightarrow m^{2} = \frac{1}{3}$

so equation of common tangents will be

$y = \pm \frac{1}{\sqrt[]{3}} x \pm \sqrt[]{3}$

which intersects at Q (3, 0)

Major axis and minor axis of ellipse are 12 and 6. So eccentricity

$e^{2} = 1 - \frac{1}{4} = \frac{3}{4}$

and length of latus rectum

$= \frac{2 b^{2}}{a} = 3$

Hence

$\frac{l}{e^{2}} = \frac{3}{3 / 4} = 4$
