we have
$(p^2+q^2)(l^2 + m^2) = (pl-qm)^2+ (pm + ql)^2$

The value of $b_1^2+5b_2^2$ cannot be determined solely from the given equation. It depends on the values of $b_1$ and $b_2$.
No, the given equation only provides information about the values of $a_1$ and $a_2$. It cannot be used to find the value of $b_1^2+5b_2^2$ directly.
The equation $a_1^2+5a_2^2=10$ represents an ellipse in the xy-plane. The values of $b_1^2+5b_2^2$ can vary depending on the location of the point $(b_1, b_2)$ on this ellipse. Therefore, there are infinite possible values for $b_1^2+5b_2^2$.
Yes, $b_1^2+5b_2^2$ can have a negative value if the point $(b_1, b_2)$ is located inside the ellipse defined by the equation $a_1^2+5a_2^2=10$. This means that $b_1$ and $b_2$ must be imaginary numbers.
To find the value of $b_1^2+5b_2^2$, the values of $b_1$ and $b_2$ must be known. These values can be obtained through further experimentation or by solving a system of equations with additional information.
