M1 M2 = 1
t = 1
So, A (1, 2) and B (1, 2) they must be end pts of focal chord.
Length of latus rectum
b2 = 2a and ae = 1
Eccentricity of ellipse (Horizontal)
b2 = a2 (1 – e2)
2a = a2 (1 – e2)
2 =
e2 + 2e – 1 = 0
now

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
But, given
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
-
Equation of tangent of slope m to y = - (x - 2)2 is y = m (x – 2) +
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

Foci : S (ae, 0), S' (ae, 0)
Focus of parabola is (ae, 0)
Now, semi latus rectum of parabola = |SS'| = 2ae
B2 = 2a2……… (i)
lies on H
From (i) and (ii)
equation of parabola is y2
