The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the given equations of the hyperbola and the ellipse, and then find the length of the latus rectum of the ellipse. ### Step 1: Analyze the Hyperbola The equation of the hyperbola is given as: \[ x^2 - y^2 \sec^2 \theta = 10 \] We can rewrite this in standard form: \[ \frac{x^2}{10} - \frac{y^2}{10 \cos^2 \theta} = 1 \] Here, we identify \( a^2 = 10 \) and \( b^2 = 10 \cos^2 \theta \). ### Step 2: Calculate the Eccentricity of the Hyperbola The eccentricity \( e_h \) of the hyperbola is given by: \[ e_h = \sqrt{1 + \frac{b^2}{a^2}} = \sqrt{1 + \frac{10 \cos^2 \theta}{10}} = \sqrt{1 + \cos^2 \theta} \] According to the problem, \( e_h = \sqrt{5} \). Thus, we have: \[ \sqrt{1 + \cos^2 \theta} = \sqrt{5} \] Squaring both sides gives: \[ 1 + \cos^2 \theta = 5 \implies \cos^2 \theta = 4 \implies \cos \theta = \pm 2 \] However, since \( \cos \theta \) must be between -1 and 1, we need to ensure that our calculations are consistent with the conditions of the problem. ### Step 3: Analyze the Ellipse The equation of the ellipse is given as: \[ x^2 \sec^2 \theta + y^2 = 5 \] Rearranging gives: \[ \frac{x^2}{5 \cos^2 \theta} + \frac{y^2}{5} = 1 \] Here, we identify \( a^2 = 5 \) and \( b^2 = 5 \cos^2 \theta \). ### Step 4: Calculate the Eccentricity of the Ellipse The eccentricity \( e_e \) of the ellipse is given by: \[ e_e = \sqrt{1 - \frac{a^2}{b^2}} = \sqrt{1 - \frac{5}{5 \cos^2 \theta}} = \sqrt{1 - \frac{1}{\cos^2 \theta}} = \sqrt{\frac{\sin^2 \theta}{\cos^2 \theta}} = \tan \theta \] We are given that \( e_h = e_e \), which implies: \[ \sqrt{1 + \cos^2 \theta} = \tan \theta \] ### Step 5: Solve for \( \theta \) From the previous equations, equate: \[ \sqrt{1 + \cos^2 \theta} = \tan \theta \] Squaring both sides gives: \[ 1 + \cos^2 \theta = \frac{\sin^2 \theta}{\cos^2 \theta} \] Substituting \( \sin^2 \theta = 1 - \cos^2 \theta \): \[ 1 + \cos^2 \theta = \frac{1 - \cos^2 \theta}{\cos^2 \theta} \] Multiplying through by \( \cos^2 \theta \): \[ \cos^2 \theta + \cos^4 \theta = 1 - \cos^2 \theta \] Rearranging gives: \[ \cos^4 \theta + 2\cos^2 \theta - 1 = 0 \] Let \( u = \cos^2 \theta \): \[ u^2 + 2u - 1 = 0 \] Using the quadratic formula: \[ u = \frac{-2 \pm \sqrt{4 + 4}}{2} = -1 \pm \sqrt{2} \] Since \( u \) must be non-negative, we take: \[ u = -1 + \sqrt{2} \implies \cos^2 \theta = -1 + \sqrt{2} \] ### Step 6: Length of the Latus Rectum of the Ellipse The length of the latus rectum \( L \) of the ellipse is given by: \[ L = \frac{2b^2}{a} \] Substituting \( a = \sqrt{5} \) and \( b = \sqrt{5 \cos^2 \theta} \): \[ L = \frac{2(5 \cos^2 \theta)}{\sqrt{5}} = \frac{10 \cos^2 \theta}{\sqrt{5}} \] Substituting \( \cos^2 \theta = -1 + \sqrt{2} \): \[ L = \frac{10(-1 + \sqrt{2})}{\sqrt{5}} = \frac{10\sqrt{2} - 10}{\sqrt{5}} \] ### Final Answer The length of the latus rectum of the ellipse is: \[ L = \frac{10(\sqrt{2} - 1)}{\sqrt{5}} \]
