Let f(x)=x2+9, g(x)=xx – 9 and a = fog (10), b = gof (3). If e and l denote the eccentricity and the length of the latus rectum of the ellipse x2a+y2b=1, then 8e2 + l2 is equal to [2024]
(4)
We have, g(x)=xx–9 so, g(10) = 10
Also f(x)=x2+9 so, f(10)=102+9=109
a=fog(10)=f(g(10))=f(10)=109
Also, f(3)=32+9=18
Now, b=gof(3)=g(f(3))=g(18)=1818–9=2
So ellipse x2a+y2b=1 becomes x2109+y22=1
∴ e=1–2109=107109
and l =2b2a=2×2109=4109
Hence, 8e2 + l2 =8×107109+16109=8.
