Latus rectum length = (2b²)/(a) = 8 b² = 4a$= \frac{2b^2}{a} = 8 \implies b^2 = 4a$. Focal length = 2ae = 2√(a² + b²)$= 2ae = 2\sqrt{a^2 + b^2}$.

Core Logic

Substitute P(10, 2√(15))$P(10, 2\sqrt{15})$ and b² = 4a$b^2 = 4a$ into hyperbola equation:

Thus, b² = 20 b = √(20)$b^2 = 20 \implies b = \sqrt{20}$.

Step 1: Calculate Focal Distance and Area

Focal distance SS' = 2ae = 2 √(a² + b²) = 2 √(25 + 20) = 6√(5)$SS' = 2ae = 2 \sqrt{a^2 + b^2} = 2 \sqrt{25 + 20} = 6\sqrt{5}$. Area of Δ PSS' = (1)/(2) × base × height = (1)/(2) (6√(5)) (2√(15)) = 30√(3) = A$\Delta PSS' = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height} = \frac{1}{2} (6\sqrt{5}) (2\sqrt{15}) = 30\sqrt{3} = A$.

For the domain of the given logarithmic function, the argument of the innermost logarithm must be strictly greater than 1 because of the nested logs:

Thus, 4 < x < 5$4 < x < 5$. Therefore, the domain interval is (4, 5)$(4, 5)$, yielding m = 4$m = 4$ and n = 5$n = 5$.

Step 1: Hyperbola Properties

Given eccentricity e = (n)/(3) = (5)/(3)$e = \frac{n}{3} = \frac{5}{3}$:

Find the intersection points of the line y = x + 1$y = x + 1$ and the ellipse (x²)/(2) + y² = 1$\frac{x^2}{2} + y^2 = 1$.

This gives x = 0$x = 0$ or x = -(4)/(3)$x = -\frac{4}{3}$.

Step 1: Calculate Intersection Points

For x = 0$x = 0$, y = 1 ⇒ A(0, 1)$y = 1 \Rightarrow A(0, 1)$. For x = -(4)/(3)$x = -\frac{4}{3}$, y = -(4)/(3) + 1 = -(1)/(3) ⇒ B(-(4)/(3), -(1)/(3))$y = -\frac{4}{3} + 1 = -\frac{1}{3} \Rightarrow B\left(-\frac{4}{3}, -\frac{1}{3}\right)$.

Step 2: Find Angle at the Origin

Let O(0,0)$O(0,0)$ be the center of the ellipse. The angle made by segment AB$AB$ at O$O$ is ∠ AOB$\angle AOB$. The slope of OA$OA$ is m₁ = (1 - 0)/(0 - 0) = ∞$m_1 = \frac{1 - 0}{0 - 0} = \infty$ (which means OA$OA$ is along the y-axis, angle is π/2$\pi/2$). The slope of OB$OB$ is m₂ = (-1/3 - 0)/(-4/3 - 0) = (1)/(4)$m_2 = \frac{-1/3 - 0}{-4/3 - 0} = \frac{1}{4}$. The angle of OB$OB$ with the positive x-axis is θ = ⁻¹((1)/(4))$\theta = \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{4}\right)$. The total angle ∠ AOB$\angle AOB$ is (π)/(2) + θ = (π)/(2) + ⁻¹((1)/(4))$\frac{\pi}{2} + \theta = \frac{\pi}{2} + \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{4}\right)$.
