If the equations $x=1+2 \cos \theta, y=2+\sin \theta, 0 \leq \theta<2 \pi$ represent an ellipse, then the point of intersection of the normal drawn at $P\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right)$ to this ellipse and its major axis is

Let a line L pass through the point of intersection of the lines $b x+10 y-8=0$ and $2 x-3 y=0, \mathrm{~b} \in \mathbf{R}-\left\{\frac{4}{3}\right\}$. If the line $\mathrm{L}$ also passes through the point $(1,1)$ and touches the circle $17\left(x^{2}+y^{2}\right)=16$, then the eccentricity of the ellipse $\frac{x^{2}}{5}+\frac{y^{2}}{\mathrm{~b}^{2}}=1$ is :

If the ellipse $\frac{x^{2}}{a^{2}}+\frac{y^{2}}{b^{2}}=1$ meets the line $\frac{x}{7}+\frac{y}{2 \sqrt{6}}=1$ on the $x$-axis and the line $\frac{x}{7}-\frac{y}{2 \sqrt{6}}=1$ on the $y$-axis, then the eccentricity of the ellipse is :
Let the eccentricity of the ellipse ${x^2} + {a^2}{y^2} = 25{a^2}$ be b times the eccentricity of the hyperbola ${x^2} - {a^2}{y^2} = 5$, where a is the minimum distance between the curves y = ex and y = logex. Then ${a^2} + {1 \over {{b^2}}}$ is equal to :
Let the eccentricity of an ellipse ${{{x^2}} \over {{a^2}}} + {{{y^2}} \over {{b^2}}} = 1$, $a > b$, be ${1 \over 4}$. If this ellipse passes through the point $\left( { - 4\sqrt {{2 \over 5}} ,3} \right)$, then ${a^2} + {b^2}$ is equal to :
If m is the slope of a common tangent to the curves ${{{x^2}} \over {16}} + {{{y^2}} \over 9} = 1$ and ${x^2} + {y^2} = 12$, then $12{m^2}$ is equal to :

Let the maximum area of the triangle that can be inscribed in the ellipse ${{{x^2}} \over {{a^2}}} + {{{y^2}} \over 4} = 1,\,a > 2$, having one of its vertices at one end of the major axis of the ellipse and one of its sides parallel to the y-axis, be $6\sqrt 3 $. Then the eccentricity of the ellipse is :
Let the tangents at the points $\mathrm{P}$ and $\mathrm{Q}$ on the ellipse $\frac{x^{2}}{2}+\frac{y^{2}}{4}=1$ meet at the point $R(\sqrt{2}, 2 \sqrt{2}-2)$. If $\mathrm{S}$ is the focus of the ellipse on its negative major axis, then $\mathrm{SP}^{2}+\mathrm{SQ}^{2}$ is equal to ___________.
Explanation:
$E \equiv {{{x^2}} \over 2} + {{{y^2}} \over 4} = 1$
$\eqalign{ & T \equiv y = mx\, \pm \,\sqrt {2{m^2} + 4} \cr & \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, \downarrow \left( {\sqrt 2 ,2\sqrt 2 - 2} \right) \cr} $
$ \Rightarrow \left( {2\sqrt 2 - 2 - m\sqrt 2 } \right) = \pm \,\sqrt {2{m^2} + 4} $
$ \Rightarrow 2{m^2} - 2m\sqrt 2 \left( {2\sqrt {2 - 2} } \right) + 4(3 - 2\sqrt 2 ) = 2{m^2} + 4$
$ \Rightarrow - 2\sqrt 2 m(2\sqrt 2 - 2) = 4 - 12 + 8\sqrt 2 $
$ \Rightarrow - 4\sqrt 2 m(\sqrt 2 - 1) = 8(\sqrt 2 - 1)$
$ \Rightarrow m = - \sqrt 2 $ and $m \to \infty $
$\therefore$ Tangents are $x = \sqrt 2 $ and $y = - \sqrt 2 x + \sqrt 8 $
$\therefore$ $P(\sqrt 2 ,0)$ and $Q(1,\sqrt 2 )$
and $S = (0, - \sqrt 2 )$
$\therefore$ ${(PS)^2} + {(QS)^2} = 4 + 9 = 13$
If the length of the latus rectum of the ellipse $x^{2}+4 y^{2}+2 x+8 y-\lambda=0$ is 4 , and $l$ is the length of its major axis, then $\lambda+l$ is equal to ____________.
Explanation:
Equation of ellipse is : ${x^2} + 4{y^2} + 2x + 8y - \lambda = 0$
${(x + 1)^2} + 4{(y + 1)^2} = \lambda + 5$
${{{{(x + 1)}^2}} \over {\lambda + 5}} + {{{{(y + 1)}^2}} \over {\left( {{{\lambda + 5} \over 4}} \right)}} = 1$
Length of latus rectum $ = {{2\,.\,\left( {{{\lambda + 5} \over 4}} \right)} \over {\sqrt {\lambda + 5} }} = 4$.
$\therefore$ $\lambda = 59$.
Length of major axis $ = 2\,.\,\sqrt {\lambda + 5} = 16 = l$
$\therefore$ $\lambda + l = 75$.
If two tangents drawn from a point ($\alpha$, $\beta$) lying on the ellipse 25x2 + 4y2 = 1 to the parabola y2 = 4x are such that the slope of one tangent is four times the other, then the value of (10$\alpha$ + 5)2 + (16$\beta$2 + 50)2 equals ___________.
Explanation:
Tangent to the parabola, $y=m x+\frac{1}{m}$ passes through $(\alpha, \beta)$. So, $\alpha m^{2}-\beta m+1=0$ has roots $m_{1}$ and $4 m_{1}$,
$ m_{1}+4 m_{1}=\frac{\beta}{\alpha} \text { and } m_{1} \cdot 4 m_{1}=\frac{1}{\alpha} $
Gives that $4 \beta^{2}=25 \alpha \quad\quad...(ii)$
from (i) and (ii)
$25\left(\alpha^{2}+\alpha\right)=1\quad\quad...(iii)$
Now, $(10 \alpha+5)^{2}+\left(16 \beta^{2}+50\right)^{2}$
$=25(2 \alpha+1)^{2}+2500(2 \alpha+1)^{2}$
$=2525\left(4 \alpha^{2}+4 \alpha+1\right)$ from equation (iii)
$=2525\left(\frac{4}{25}+1\right)$
$=2929$
Consider the ellipse
$$ \frac{x^{2}}{4}+\frac{y^{2}}{3}=1 $$
Let $H(\alpha, 0), 0<\alpha<2$, be a point.
