The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the eccentricity \( e \) and the length of the latus rectum \( l \) of the conic described by the parametric equations \( x = t^2 + t + 1 \) and \( y = t^2 - t + 1 \). ### Step 1: Find \( x + y \) and \( x - y \) Given: \[ x = t^2 + t + 1 \] \[ y = t^2 - t + 1 \] Calculating \( x + y \): \[ x + y = (t^2 + t + 1) + (t^2 - t + 1) = 2t^2 + 2 \] Thus, \[ x + y = 2(t^2 + 1) \] Calculating \( x - y \): \[ x - y = (t^2 + t + 1) - (t^2 - t + 1) = 2t \] ### Step 2: Express \( t \) in terms of \( x \) and \( y \) From \( x - y = 2t \): \[ t = \frac{x - y}{2} \] From \( x + y = 2(t^2 + 1) \): \[ \frac{x + y}{2} = t^2 + 1 \implies t^2 = \frac{x + y}{2} - 1 \] ### Step 3: Substitute \( t \) into the equation Substituting \( t = \frac{x - y}{2} \) into \( t^2 \): \[ \left(\frac{x - y}{2}\right)^2 = \frac{x + y}{2} - 1 \] Expanding: \[ \frac{(x - y)^2}{4} = \frac{x + y}{2} - 1 \] ### Step 4: Rearranging the equation Multiply through by 4 to eliminate the fraction: \[ (x - y)^2 = 2(x + y) - 4 \] Rearranging gives: \[ (x - y)^2 = 2x + 2y - 4 \] ### Step 5: Identify the conic section This equation can be rearranged to the form: \[ (x - y)^2 = 2(x + y - 2) \] This is a parabola in the form \( y^2 = 4ax \), where the coefficient of \( x \) gives us the parameter \( a \). ### Step 6: Find eccentricity \( e \) and length of latus rectum \( l \) For a parabola: - The eccentricity \( e = 1 \) - The length of the latus rectum \( l = 4a \) From our equation, we can see that \( 4a = 2 \), thus: \[ l = 2 \] ### Step 7: Calculate \( \frac{e}{l^2} \) Now we can calculate: \[ \frac{e}{l^2} = \frac{1}{(2)^2} = \frac{1}{4} \] ### Final Answer The value of \( \frac{e}{l^2} \) is \( 0.25 \).
