Let the sum of the focal distances of the point P(4,3) on the hyperbola $H:\ \dfrac{x^{2}}{a^{2}}-\dfrac{y^{2}}{b^{2}}=1$ be $8\sqrt{\dfrac{5}{3}}$. If for H, the length of the latus rectum is l and the product of the focal distances of the point P is m, then $9l^{2}+6m$ is equal to:
Solution
Given sum of focal distances:
$SP_1 + SP_2 = 2ex = 8\sqrt{\frac{5}{3}}$
At $P(4,3)$ ⇒ $2e \cdot 4 = 8\sqrt{\frac{5}{3}}$
⇒ $e=\sqrt{\frac{5}{3}}$
