(b) The curve  \mathrm{\frac{x^2}{a^2}-\frac{y^2}{b^2}=1 }  passes through (2,-1)

\mathrm{\therefore \frac{4}{a^2}-\frac{1}{b^2}=1}

conjugate axis, \mathrm{2 b=10 \Rightarrow b=5}

\mathrm{\begin{aligned} & \therefore \frac{4}{a^2}=1+\frac{1}{25}=\frac{26}{25} \Rightarrow a^2=\frac{50}{13} \\ & \text { and } e=\sqrt{1+\left(\frac{b}{a}\right)^2}=\sqrt{1+\frac{25}{50} \times 13}=\sqrt{\frac{15}{2}} \end{aligned}}
