For the given ellipse \mathrm{b>a} , so the two foci lie on y-axis and their coordinates are \mathrm{(0, \pm b e)}
Where \mathrm{b=5, a=3 \text {. So } e=\sqrt{1-\frac{a^2}{b^2}}=\sqrt{1-\frac{9}{25}}=\frac{4}{5}}
The focal distances of a point \mathrm{\left(x_1, y_1\right)} on the ellipse \mathrm{\frac{x^2}{a^2}+\frac{y^2}{b^2}=1},  Where \mathrm{b^2>a^2} are given by \mathrm{b \pm e y_1}  So, Required distances are \mathrm{b \pm e y_1=5 \pm \frac{4}{5} y_1}
