Vedclass · Answer

Ends of latus rectum ($ \pm ae$, $\pm \mathrm{b}^{2} / \mathrm{a}$ )

equation of normal at Pt. $\left(\mathrm{x}_{1}, \mathrm{y}_{1}\right)$ on ellipse is

$\frac{a^{2} x}{x_{1}}-\frac{b^{2} y}{y_{1}}=a^{2}-b^{2}$

So, equation of normal at $\left( {ae,{b^2}/a} \right)$ is

$x-e y=a e^{3}$

Normal passes through $(0,-b)$ then

$0+\mathrm{eb}=\mathrm{ae}^{3}$

$\Rightarrow \mathrm{b}=\mathrm{ae}^{2}$

$\Rightarrow \mathrm{b}^{2}=\mathrm{a}^{2} \mathrm{e}^{4} \Rightarrow \mathrm{a}^{2}\left(1-\mathrm{e}^{2}\right)=\mathrm{a}^{2} \mathrm{e}^{4}$

$\Rightarrow e^{4}+e^{2}-1=0$
