The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to establish the relationship between the eccentricities of a standard ellipse and a standard hyperbola based on the given conditions. Let's break it down step by step. ### Step 1: Understand the given conditions We know that: - The major axis of the ellipse equals the transverse axis of the hyperbola. - The radius of the director circle of the ellipse is \(2R\) and for the hyperbola is \(R\). ### Step 2: Set up the equations for the ellipse and hyperbola The standard form of the equations are: - Ellipse: \(\frac{x^2}{a_1^2} + \frac{y^2}{b_1^2} = 1\) - Hyperbola: \(\frac{x^2}{a_2^2} - \frac{y^2}{b_2^2} = 1\) From the problem, we know: - The major axis of the ellipse is \(2a_1\). - The transverse axis of the hyperbola is \(2a_2\). Since these are equal, we have: \[ 2a_1 = 2a_2 \implies a_1 = a_2 = a \] ### Step 3: Director circles equations The equations for the director circles are: - For the ellipse: \(x^2 + y^2 = a_1^2 + b_1^2\) - For the hyperbola: \(x^2 + y^2 = a_2^2 - b_2^2\) Given the radii: - For the ellipse: \(a_1^2 + b_1^2 = (2R)^2 = 4R^2\) - For the hyperbola: \(a_2^2 - b_2^2 = R^2\) Since \(a_1 = a_2 = a\), we can rewrite these as: 1. \(a^2 + b_1^2 = 4R^2\) (Equation 1) 2. \(a^2 - b_2^2 = R^2\) (Equation 2) ### Step 4: Solve for \(b_1^2\) and \(b_2^2\) From Equation 1: \[ b_1^2 = 4R^2 - a^2 \quad (1) \] From Equation 2: \[ b_2^2 = a^2 - R^2 \quad (2) \] ### Step 5: Find the eccentricities The eccentricity of the ellipse \(e_1\) and hyperbola \(e_2\) are given by: \[ e_1 = \sqrt{1 - \frac{b_1^2}{a^2}} \quad \text{and} \quad e_2 = \sqrt{1 + \frac{b_2^2}{a^2}} \] Squaring both: \[ e_1^2 = 1 - \frac{b_1^2}{a^2} \quad (3) \] \[ e_2^2 = 1 + \frac{b_2^2}{a^2} \quad (4) \] ### Step 6: Substitute \(b_1^2\) and \(b_2^2\) into the equations Substituting (1) into (3): \[ e_1^2 = 1 - \frac{4R^2 - a^2}{a^2} = \frac{a^2 - 4R^2 + a^2}{a^2} = \frac{2a^2 - 4R^2}{a^2} \] Substituting (2) into (4): \[ e_2^2 = 1 + \frac{a^2 - R^2}{a^2} = \frac{a^2 + a^2 - R^2}{a^2} = \frac{2a^2 - R^2}{a^2} \] ### Step 7: Relate \(e_1^2\) and \(e_2^2\) Now we can relate \(e_1^2\) and \(e_2^2\): From \(e_1^2\): \[ b_1^2 = a^2 - e_1^2 a^2 \] From \(e_2^2\): \[ b_2^2 = e_2^2 a^2 - a^2 \] ### Step 8: Substitute back into the equation Using the relation \(b_1^2 + 4b_2^2 = 3a^2\): \[ (4R^2 - a^2) + 4(a^2 e_2^2 - a^2) = 3a^2 \] Simplifying gives: \[ 4R^2 - a^2 + 4a^2 e_2^2 - 4a^2 = 3a^2 \] \[ 4R^2 - 3a^2 + 4a^2 e_2^2 = 0 \] ### Final Step: Solve for the relation After rearranging and simplifying, we find: \[ 4e_2^2 - e_1^2 = 6 \] Thus, the correct relation is: \[ \boxed{4e_2^2 - e_1^2 = 6} \]
