An ellipse and a hyperbola are confocal ...

An ellipse and a hyperbola are confocal (have the same focus) and the conjugate axis of the hyperbola is equal to the minor axis of the ellipse. If `e_1a n de_2` are the eccentricities of the ellipse and the hyperbola, respectively, then prove that `1/(e1 2)+1/(e2 2)=2` .
