The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the eccentricities \( e_1 \) and \( e_2 \) of the given hyperbolas and then analyze their relationship. ### Step 1: Identify the hyperbolas The first hyperbola is given by: \[ \frac{x^2}{36} - \frac{y^2}{49} = 1 \] The second hyperbola is given by: \[ \frac{x^2}{36} - \frac{y^2}{49} = -1 \] ### Step 2: Determine the values of \( a^2 \) and \( b^2 \) From the first hyperbola, we can identify: - \( a^2 = 36 \) (thus \( a = 6 \)) - \( b^2 = 49 \) (thus \( b = 7 \)) ### Step 3: Calculate the eccentricity \( e_1 \) for the first hyperbola The formula for the eccentricity of a hyperbola of the form \( \frac{x^2}{a^2} - \frac{y^2}{b^2} = 1 \) is: \[ e_1 = \sqrt{1 + \frac{b^2}{a^2}} \] Substituting the values of \( a^2 \) and \( b^2 \): \[ e_1 = \sqrt{1 + \frac{49}{36}} = \sqrt{1 + \frac{49}{36}} = \sqrt{\frac{36 + 49}{36}} = \sqrt{\frac{85}{36}} = \frac{\sqrt{85}}{6} \] ### Step 4: Calculate the eccentricity \( e_2 \) for the second hyperbola The formula for the eccentricity of a hyperbola of the form \( \frac{x^2}{a^2} - \frac{y^2}{b^2} = -1 \) is: \[ e_2 = \sqrt{1 + \frac{a^2}{b^2}} \] Substituting the values of \( a^2 \) and \( b^2 \): \[ e_2 = \sqrt{1 + \frac{36}{49}} = \sqrt{1 + \frac{36}{49}} = \sqrt{\frac{49 + 36}{49}} = \sqrt{\frac{85}{49}} = \frac{\sqrt{85}}{7} \] ### Step 5: Analyze the relationship between \( e_1 \) and \( e_2 \) Now we have: - \( e_1 = \frac{\sqrt{85}}{6} \) - \( e_2 = \frac{\sqrt{85}}{7} \) To find the relationship between \( e_1 \) and \( e_2 \), we can calculate \( \frac{1}{e_1^2} + \frac{1}{e_2^2} \): \[ \frac{1}{e_1^2} = \frac{36}{85}, \quad \frac{1}{e_2^2} = \frac{49}{85} \] Adding these: \[ \frac{1}{e_1^2} + \frac{1}{e_2^2} = \frac{36}{85} + \frac{49}{85} = \frac{85}{85} = 1 \] ### Conclusion Thus, we find that: \[ \frac{1}{e_1^2} + \frac{1}{e_2^2} = 1 \]
