Let the length of a latus rectum of an ellipse $\frac{x^2}{a^2} + \frac{y^2}{b^2} = 1$ be $10$. If its eccentricity is the minimum value of the function $f(t) = t^2 + t + \frac{11}{12}$,$t \in R$,then $a^2 + b^2$ is equal to:

The ellipse $E_1: \frac{x^2}{9} + \frac{y^2}{4} = 1$ is inscribed in a rectangle $R$ whose sides are parallel to the coordinate axes. Another ellipse $E_2$ circumscribes the rectangle $R$ and passes through the point $(0, 4)$. What is the eccentricity of the ellipse $E_2$?

An ellipse $\frac{(x-x_0)^2}{a^2} + \frac{(y-y_0)^2}{b^2} = 1$ with $a > b$ is tangent to both the $x$ and $y$ axes and is located in the first quadrant. Let $F_1$ and $F_2$ be the two foci of the ellipse and $O$ be the origin such that $OF_1 < OF_2$. Suppose the triangle $OF_1F_2$ is an isosceles triangle with $\angle OF_1F_2 = 120^{\circ}$. Then the eccentricity of the ellipse is:
