Let $(h, k)$ lie on the circle $\mathrm{C}: x^2+y^2=4$ and the point $(2 h+1,3 k+2)$ lie on an ellipse with eccentricity $e$. Then the value of $\frac{5}{e^2}$ is equal to $\_\_\_\_$ .
Explanation:
$(\mathrm{h}, \mathrm{k})$ lie on circle $x^2+y^2=1$.
so, $h^2+k^2=1--$ (1)
$(2 h+1), 3 k+2)$ lies on ellipse This means $x=2 h+1$ and $y=3 k+2$ lies on ellipse
Substitute $\mathrm{h}=\frac{x-1}{2}$ and $\mathrm{k}=\frac{y-2}{3}$ in equation (1)
$ \begin{aligned} & \left(\frac{x-1}{2}\right)^2+\left(\frac{y-2}{3}\right)^2=1 \\ & \frac{(x-1)^2}{4}+\frac{(y-2)^2}{9}=1 \end{aligned} $
This is shifted ellipse of the form $\frac{\left(x-x_1\right)^2}{-2}+\frac{\left(y-y_1\right)^2}{12}=1 \mathrm{a}=2, \mathrm{~b}=3$
eccentricity e $=\sqrt{1-\frac{a^2}{b^2}}=\sqrt{1-\frac{4}{9}}=\sqrt{\frac{5}{9}}$
$e^2=\frac{5}{9} \Longrightarrow \frac{5}{e^2}=9$ Ans
Consider the ellipses given by

Let $P$ be the point in the first quadrant where the given ellipses intersect. If $\theta$ is the acute angle between the tangents to the given ellipses at the point $P$, then the value of $4 \tan \theta$ is $\_\_\_\_$ .
Explanation:

$E_1: x^2+4 y^2=1, E_2: 4 x^2+y^2=1$
Intersection point in $1^{\text {st }}$ quadrant is $P\left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{5}}, \frac{1}{\sqrt{5}}\right)$ tangent to $E_1$ at point $P$ is $x \cdot \frac{1}{\sqrt{5}}+4 y \cdot \frac{1}{\sqrt{5}}=1$

Tangent to $E_2$ at point $P$ is $4 x \cdot \frac{1}{\sqrt{5}}+y \cdot \frac{1}{\sqrt{5}}=1$
$ \begin{aligned} & \Rightarrow \quad 4 x+y=\sqrt{5}, m_2=-4 \\ & \Rightarrow \quad \tan \theta=\left|\frac{m_1-m_2}{1+m_1 m_2}\right|=\left|\frac{-\frac{1}{4}+4}{1+\frac{1}{4} \times 4}\right|=\frac{15}{8} \\ & \Rightarrow \quad 4 \tan \theta=\frac{15}{2}=07.50 \end{aligned} $

Consider the parabola $\mathrm{P}: y^2=4 k x$ and the ellipse $\mathrm{E}: \frac{x^2}{a^2}+\frac{y^2}{b^2}=1$. Let the line segment joining the points of intersection of P and E , be their latus rectums. If the eccentricity of E is $e$, then $e^2+2 \sqrt{2}$ is equal to $\_\_\_\_$ .
Explanation:
For the parabola
$ P:\ y^2=4kx $
its latus rectum is the line
$ x=k $
and the endpoints of the latus rectum are
$ (k,\,2k)\quad \text{and}\quad (k,\,-2k). $
So, if the line segment joining the points of intersection of the parabola and ellipse is the latus rectum of the parabola, then the two curves intersect at
$ (k,\pm 2k). $
Now for the ellipse
$ E:\ \frac{x^2}{a^2}+\frac{y^2}{b^2}=1, $
its latus rectum is the chord through a focus perpendicular to the major axis.
Since the common chord is vertical, the major axis of the ellipse must be along the $x$-axis.
Hence the foci are
$ (\pm ae,\,0), $
where
$ e=\sqrt{1-\frac{b^2}{a^2}}. $
The latus rectum of the ellipse is the vertical line through a focus:
$ x=ae. $
Its endpoints are
$ \left(ae,\ \pm \frac{b^2}{a}\right). $
But this same segment is also the latus rectum of the parabola, whose endpoints are
$ (k,\pm 2k). $
Therefore, comparing coordinates:
$ k=ae $
and
$ 2k=\frac{b^2}{a}. $
Substitute $k=ae$ into the second equation:
$ 2ae=\frac{b^2}{a}. $
So,
$ b^2=2a^2e. $
Now for the ellipse,
$ b^2=a^2(1-e^2). $
Hence,
$ a^2(1-e^2)=2a^2e. $
Dividing by $a^2$:
$ 1-e^2=2e. $
So,
$ e^2+2e-1=0. $
Since eccentricity is positive,
$ e=-1+\sqrt{2}. $
Now calculate:
$ e^2+2\sqrt{2}. $
First,
$ e^2=(\sqrt{2}-1)^2=2+1-2\sqrt{2}=3-2\sqrt{2}. $
Therefore,
$ e^2+2\sqrt{2}=3. $
So the required value is
$ \boxed{3}. $
Let A be the point (3, 0) and circles with variable diameter AB touch the circle $x^2 + y^2 = 36$ internally. Let the curve C be the locus of the point B. If the eccentricity of C is $e$, then $72e^2$ is equal to ________.
Explanation:

Let the variable point be $B(h,k)$.
We are told that the circle having $AB$ as diameter touches the fixed circle $x^2+y^2=36$ internally.
If a circle has endpoints of a diameter at $A(3,0)$ and $B(h,k)$, then its equation is
$ (x-h)(x-3) + (y-k)(y-0) = 0 $
Expanding this, we get
$x^2 + y^2 - (h+3)x - ky + 3h = 0$
So, the centre of this circle is
Centre $\left(\frac{h+3}{2}, \frac{k}{2}\right)$
Now, the fixed circle $x^2+y^2=36$ has centre $C_1(0,0)$ and radius $R=6$.
The variable circle (with diameter $AB$) has radius equal to half of $AB$, so
$r=\frac{1}{2}\left(\sqrt{(h-3)^2 + k^2}\right)$
Since the two circles touch internally, the distance between their centres equals the difference of radii:
$\therefore\ C_1C_2 = |R-r|$
Here, $C_2\left(\frac{h+3}{2},\frac{k}{2}\right)$. So,
$\sqrt{\left(\frac{h+3}{2}\right)^2 + \left(\frac{k}{2}\right)^2} = \left|6 - \frac{1}{2}\left(\sqrt{(h-3)^2 + k^2}\right)\right|$
On simplifying and writing the locus in terms of a general point $(x,y)$ (i.e., replacing $(h,k)$ by $(x,y)$), we get
$\sqrt{(x+3)^2 + y^2} + \sqrt{(x-3)^2 + y^2} = 12$
This is the standard form of an ellipse: sum of distances from two fixed points (foci) is constant $=2a$.
So,
$2a = 12 \quad \therefore\ a = 6$
Comparing, the foci are $(-3,0)$ and $(3,0)$.
The distance between the foci is $6$, so $2c=6$. Using $c=ae$, we write
$2ae = 6$
Substituting $a=6$:
$12e = 6$
So,
$e = \frac{1}{2}$
Finally,
$\therefore\ 72e^2 = 72\left(\frac{1}{4}\right) = 18$
Let the ellipse $3x^2 + py^2 = 4$ pass through the centre $C$ of the circle $x^2 + y^2 - 2x - 4y - 11 = 0$ of radius $r$. Let $f_1, f_2$ be the focal distances of the point $C$ on the ellipse. Then $6f_1f_2 - r$ is equal to

Explanation:

$\begin{aligned} & E_1=\frac{x^2}{9}+\frac{y^2}{4} \Rightarrow e=\sqrt{1-\frac{4}{9}}=\frac{\sqrt{5}}{3} \\ & E_2: \frac{x^2}{a^2}+\frac{y^2}{4}=1 \\ & e=\frac{\sqrt{5}}{3}=\sqrt{1-\frac{a^2}{4}} \Rightarrow \frac{5}{9}=1-\frac{a^2}{4} \\ & a^2=\frac{16}{9} \\ & E_2: \frac{x^2}{16}+\frac{y^2}{4}=1 \\ & E_3: \frac{x^2}{\frac{16}{9}}+\frac{y^2}{b^2}=1 \\ & e=\frac{\sqrt{5}}{3}=\sqrt{1-\frac{b^2}{16}} \Rightarrow b^2=\frac{64}{81} \end{aligned}$
