For some θ∈(0,2π), let the eccentricity and the length of the latus rectum of the hyperbola x2−y2sec2θ=8 be e1 and l1, respectively, and let the eccentricity and the length of the latus rectum of the ellipse x2sec2θ+y2=6 be e2 and l2, respectively. If e21=e22(sec2θ+1), then (e1e2l1l2)tan2θ is equal to

Given hyperbola
x2−y2sec2θ=8
Convert it into standard form.
8x2−8cos2θy2=1
Eccentricity: e21=1+88cos2θ=1+cos2θ latus rectum
l1=82×8cos2θ=42cos2θ
Given ellipse
x2sec2θ+y2=6
Convert into standard form.
6cos2θx2+6y2=1
Since θ∈(0,π/2)⇒cos2θ{e}\_{2}\^{2}=1-\frac{6{\cos }\^{2}\theta }{6}={\sin }\^{2}\theta Latusrectum{l}\_{2}=\frac{2\times 6{\cos }\^{2}\theta }{\sqrt{6}}=2\sqrt{6}{\cos }\^{2}\theta Itisgiventhat{e}\_{2}\^{1}={e}\_{2}\^{2}({\sec }\^{2}\theta +1)Substitutingvaluesof{e}\_{2}\^{1}and{e}\_{2}\^{2}.1+{\cos }\^{2}\theta ={\sin }\^{2}\theta (\frac{1}{{\cos }\^{2}\theta }+1)\Rightarrow1+{\cos }\^{2}\theta ={\sin }\^{2}\theta (\frac{1+{\cos }\^{2}\theta }{{\cos }\^{2}\theta })\Rightarrow{\tan }\^{2}\theta =1\Rightarrow \theta =\frac{\pi }{4}as\theta \in (0,\pi /2)\Rightarrow\frac{{l}\_{1}\cdot {l}\_{2}}{{e}\_{1}\cdot {e}\_{2}}=\frac{(4\sqrt{2}{\cos }\^{2}\frac{\pi }{4})(2\sqrt{6}{\cos }\^{2}\frac{\pi }{4})}{\sqrt{(1+{\cos }\^{2}\frac{\pi }{4})}(\sin \frac{\pi }{4})}\therefore
