If $F_1$ and $F_2$ be the feet of the perpendicular from the foci $S_1$ and $S_2$ of an ellipse $\frac{{{x^2}}}{5} + \frac{{{y^2}}}{3} = 1$ on the tangent at any point $P$ on the ellipse, then $(S_1 F_1) (S_2 F_2)$ is equal to
$2$
$3$
$4$
$5$
The locus of the foot of perpendicular drawn from the centre of the ellipse ${x^2} + 3{y^2} = 6$ on any tangent to it is
A focus of an ellipse is at the origin. The directrix is the line $x = 4$ and the eccentricity is $ \frac{1}{2}$ . Then the length of the semi-major axis is
Let $P \left(\frac{2 \sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{7}}, \frac{6}{\sqrt{7}}\right), Q , R$ and $S$ be four points on the ellipse $9 x^2+4 y^2=36$. Let $P Q$ and $RS$ be mutually perpendicular and pass through the origin. If $\frac{1}{( PQ )^2}+\frac{1}{( RS )^2}=\frac{ p }{ q }$, where $p$ and $q$ are coprime, then $p+q$ is equal to $.........$.
The normal at $\left( {2,\frac{3}{2}} \right)$ to the ellipse, $\frac{{{x^2}}}{{16}} + \frac{{{y^2}}}{3} = 1$ touches a parabola, whose equation is
An ellipse passes through the point $(-3, 1)$ and its eccentricity is $\sqrt {\frac{2}{5}} $. The equation of the ellipse is
