, passing through (2, 3)
Foci =
& passing through (2, 3)
As![]()
Also, a2 = b2 (e2 - 1)
= b2e2 - b2
= ![]()
= 10 - b2

4b2 - 9 (10 - b2) = -1(10 - b2) (b2)
4b2 – 90 + 9b2 = -10b2 + b4
b4 - 23b2 + 90 = 0
b4 - 18b2 - 5b2 + 90 = 0
b2(b2 - 18)- 5 (b2 - 18) = 0
(b2 - 5) (b2 - 18) =0
Either b2 = 5 or b2 = 18 (not possible, as a2 + b2 = 10)
a2 + b2 = 10
a2 + 5 = 10
a2 = 5
![]()
Hence, the required equation is
