Let an ellipse $E: \frac{x^{2}}{a^{2}}+\frac{y^{2}}{b^{2}}=1, a^{2}>b^{2}$,pass through $\left(\sqrt{\frac{3}{2}}, 1\right)$ and have eccentricity $e = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$. If a circle,centered at the focus $F(\alpha, 0), \alpha > 0$ of $E$ and having radius $r = \frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}$,intersects $E$ at two points $P$ and $Q$,then $PQ^{2}$ is equal to:

  • A
    $\frac{8}{3}$
  • B
    $\frac{4}{3}$
  • C
    $3$
  • D
    $\frac{16}{3}$

Find the coordinates of the foci,the vertices,the lengths of the major and minor axes,and the eccentricity of the ellipse $9x^{2} + 4y^{2} = 36$.

An ellipse inscribed in a semi-circle touches the circular arc at two distinct points and also touches the bounding diameter. Its major axis is parallel to the bounding diameter. When the ellipse has the maximum possible area,its eccentricity is

The equation of the ellipse with $x+y+2=0$ as its directrix,one of its focus at $(1,-1)$ and having eccentricity $e = \frac{2}{3}$ is:

Define the collections $\{E_1, E_2, E_3, \ldots\}$ of ellipses and $\{R_1, R_2, R_3, \ldots\}$ of rectangles as follows:
$E_1: \frac{x^2}{9} + \frac{y^2}{4} = 1$
$R_1$: rectangle of largest area,with sides parallel to the axes,inscribed in $E_1$;
$E_n$: ellipse $\frac{x^2}{a_n^2} + \frac{y^2}{b_n^2} = 1$ of largest area inscribed in $R_{n-1}, n > 1$;
$R_n$: rectangle of largest area,with sides parallel to the axes,inscribed in $E_n, n > 1$.
Then which of the following options is/are correct?
$(1)$ The eccentricities of $E_{18}$ and $E_{19}$ are $NOT$ equal
$(2)$ The distance of a focus from the centre in $E_9$ is $\frac{\sqrt{5}}{32}$

$(4)$ $\sum_{n=1}^N (\text{area of } R_n) < 24$,for each positive integer $N$

If $(1, -2)$ is the focus and $x+y-2=0$ is the directrix of the ellipse $17x^2 - 2xy + 17y^2 - 32x + 76y + 86 = 0$,then its eccentricity is
