The longest distance of the point $(a, 0)$ from the curve $2x^2+y^2=2x$ is

If the chord through the points whose eccentric angles are $\theta$ and $\phi$ on the ellipse $\frac{x^2}{a^2} + \frac{y^2}{b^2} = 1$ passes through the focus,then the value of $(1 + e) \tan(\frac{\theta}{2}) \tan(\frac{\phi}{2})$ is

Statement $-1$: If two tangents are drawn to an ellipse from a single point and if they are perpendicular to each other,then the locus of that point is always a circle.
Statement $-2$: For an ellipse $\frac{x^2}{a^2} + \frac{y^2}{b^2} = 1$,the locus of the point from which two perpendicular tangents are drawn is $x^2 + y^2 = a^2 + b^2$.

Define the collections $\{E_1, E_2, E_3, \ldots\}$ of ellipses and $\{R_1, R_2, R_3, \ldots\}$ of rectangles as follows:

$R_1$: 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 $E_n, n > 1$.
