Given 2a + 2b = 4 (22+14)

=42 (2+7)

b2=a2 (1141)

4b2 = 7a2

b = 72a

Tangent to C1 at (-1, 1) is T = 0                                                           

 x(-1) + 4(1) = 2

-x + y = 2

find OP by dropping  from (3, 2) to centre

OP = |32+22|=32

AP = r2OP2

=592=12

tanθ=OPAP=3/21/2=3

area of ΔABN=12AN2sin2θ

AN = 53

=1259(2tanθ1+tan2θ)

=52.9*2.31+32=16

sin = APAN

 APBP

M1 M2 = 1

2tt23*2/631t2=1

t = 1

So, A (1, 2) and B (1, 2) they must be end pts of focal chord.

Length of latus rectum =2b2a

4=2b2a

b2 = 2a and ae = 1

Eccentricity of ellipse (Horizontal)

b2 = a2 (1 – e2)

2a = a2 (1 – e2)

2 = 1e (1e2)

e2 + 2e – 1 = 0

e=2±4+42

e=1+2

now 1e2=3+2

Given hyperbola : kx26y26=1 so eccentricity e = 1+k and directrices x=±ae

x=±6kk+16kk+1=1

k = 2 therefore equation of hyperbola is x23y26=1

hence it passes through the point  (5, 2)

Abscissae of PQ are roots of x2 – 4x – 6 = 0

Ordinates of PQ are roots of y2 + 2y – 7 = 0 and PQ is diameter

Equation of circle is x 2 + y 2 4 x + 2 y 1 3 = 0   ……………. (i)

But, given  x 2 + y 2 + 2 a x + 2 b y + c = 0 ……………. (ii)

By comparison a = -2, b = 1, c = -13 Þ a + b – c = -2 + 1 + 13 = 12

Equation of tangent of slope m to y = x2 is y = mx 1 4 m 2 - …………. (i)

Equation of tangent of slope m to y = - (x - 2)2 is y = m (x – 2) + 1 4 m 2  …………… (ii)

If both equation represent the same line therefore on comparing (i) and (ii) we get m = 0, 4

therefore equation of tangent is y = 4x – 4

 x2 (52)2+y2 (53)2=1

Equation of tangent having slope m is

y=mx±53m2+53, which passes through (1, 3) and we get m1 + m2 = -4 and m1m2 = 449

Acute angle between the tangents is α  = tan-1 |m1m21+m1m2|=tan1 (2475)

 y2=x2

y=mx18m

This tangent pass through (2, 0)

m=±14i.e., onetangentisx4y2=0, 17r=9

H : x 2 a 2 y 2 b 2 = 1

Foci : S (ae, 0), S' (ae, 0)

Focus of parabola is (ae, 0)

Now, semi latus rectum of parabola = |SS'| = 2ae

Given, 4ae=e (2b2a)

B2 = 2a2……… (i)

Given, (22, 22) lies on H

1a21b2=18........ (ii)

From (i) and (ii)

a2=4, b2=8

? b2=a2 (e21)

e=3

equation of parabola is  y2 =83x
