The tangent at a point where eccentric angle 60° on the ellipse x2/a2 + y2/b2 = 1(a > b) meet the auxiliary circle at L and M. If LM subtends a right angle at the centre, then eccentricity of the ellipse is:
The tangent at a point where eccentric angle 60° on the ellipse x2/a2 + y2/b2 = 1(a > b) meet the auxiliary circle at L and M. If LM subtends a right angle at the centre, then eccentricity of the ellipse is:
Equation of tangent is (x/a) (1/2) + (y/b) (√3/2) = 1
Equation of auxiliary circle is x² + y² = a²
Homogenising (ii) with (i) and making coefficient of x² + coefficient of y² = 0
⇒ (3a²/4b²) - (7/4) = 0 ⇒ e = 2/√7
