Given ellipse x2+a2y2=25a2⇒25a2x2+25y2=1eccentricity(e1)=1−a2b2=1−25a225=1−a21⇒e12=1−a21Also, given hyperbola,x2−a2y2=5⇒5x2−a25y2=1eccentricity(e2)=1+a2b2=1+5a25=1+a21⇒e22=1+a21Also given,e1=b×e2⇒e12=b2×e22⇒1−a21=b2(1+a21)⇒a2a2−1=a2b2(a2+1)⇒b2=a2+1a2−1
y=logex is inverse of y=ex so it is mirror image of each other with respect to y=x line.Slope of tangent to y=ex curvedxdy=exSlope of tangent to y=logex curve,dxdy=x1Both tangents are parallel to y=x line for minimum distance condition.∴ Slope of y=x line = Slope of both the tangent.∴dxdy=ex=1⇒ex=e0=x=0∴y=ex=e0=1and dxdy=x1=1⇒x=1∴y=loge1=0∴ tangent at (0,1) point of y=ex curve and tangent at (1,0) point of y=logex curve are parallel.∴ Minimum distance between point (0,1) and (1,0) is =12+12=2∴a=2So, b2=a2+1a2−1=2+12−1=31∴a2+b21=2+1/31=5
