Let the eccentricity of an ellipse x2/a2 + y2/b2 = 1, a>b, be 1/4. If this ellipse passes through the point (-4√(2/5), 3), then a2 + b2 is equal to:
Let the eccentricity of an ellipse x2/a2 + y2/b2 = 1, a>b, be 1/4. If this ellipse passes through the point (-4√(2/5), 3), then a2 + b2 is equal to:
x²/a² + y²/b² = 1
(-4/√5)²)/a² + (2/√5)²)/b² = 1
=> 32/a² + 9/b² = 1
=> 32/ (5a²) + 9/b² = 1 . (i)
From (i)
6/b² + 9/b² = 1 => b²=15 & a²=16
a²+b² = 15+16=31
