Let $E_1 = \frac{x^2}{9} + \frac{y^2}{4} = 1$ and $E_2 = \frac{x^2}{a^2} + \frac{y^2}{b^2} = 1$ be two ellipses and $R$ be a rectangle with sides parallel to the coordinate axes. Let $E_1$ be the inscribed ellipse in $R$ and $E_2$ be the circumscribed ellipse on $R$. If $E_2$ passes through $(0, 4)$,then:
