Let the length of the latus rectum of an ellipse $\frac{x^{2}}{a^{2}}+\frac{y^{2}}{b^{2}}=1$ $(a>b)$ be $30$. If its eccentricity is the maximum value of the function $f(t)=-\frac{3}{4}+2t-t^{2}$,then $(a^{2}+b^{2})$ is equal to -

Consider the ellipse $\frac{x^2}{4}+\frac{y^2}{3}=1$. Let $H(\alpha, 0)$,$0 < \alpha < 2$,be a point. $A$ straight line drawn through $H$ parallel to the $y$-axis crosses the ellipse and its auxiliary circle at points $E$ and $F$ respectively,in the first quadrant. The tangent to the ellipse at the point $E$ intersects the positive $x$-axis at a point $G$. Suppose the straight line joining $F$ and the origin makes an angle $\phi$ with the positive $x$-axis.
