Dear student
 
e^2 = 1 + b^2 /a^2 = (a^2 + b^2) / a^2
 
hence
(e’)^2 = (a^2 + b^2) / b^2
 
hence when multiplying
 
(e e’)^2 = (a^2 + b^2) ^2 / a^2 b^2
 
now use AM GM and you will find that
 
ratio os greater than one

Dear student
 
You can also tell because
 
hyperbola has eccentricity greater than 1.
 
hence, whether it is conjugate hyperbola or hyperbola , eccentricity will always be 1.
 
hence 
 
e> 1 , e’ > 1
 
e e’ > 1
