Let E1:9x2+4y2=1 be an ellipse. Ellipses Ei′ 's are constructed such that their centres and eccentricities are same as that of E1, and the length of minor axis of Ei is the length of major axis of Ei+1(i≥1). If Ai is the area of the ellipse Ei, then π5(∑i=1∞Ai), is equal to …..
Answer: 54
Numerical answer — enter this value.
Step-by-step solution
E1=9x2+4y2⇒e=1−94=35
E2:a2x2+4y2=1
e=35=1−4a2⇒95=1−4a2
a2=916
E2:916x2+4y2=1
E3:916x2+b2y2=1
e=35=1−916b2⇒b2=8164
E3=916x2+8164y2=1
A1=π×3×2⇒6π
A2=π×34×2=38π
A3=π×34×98=2732π
∑i=1∞Ai=6π+38π+2732π+…∞⇒1−946π⇒554π
∴π5∑i=1∞Ai⇒π5×554π=54
