The line $x\cos \alpha + y\sin \alpha = p$ will be a tangent to the conic $\frac{{{x^2}}}{{{a^2}}} + \frac{{{y^2}}}{{{b^2}}} = 1$, if
${p^2} = {a^2}{\sin ^2}\alpha + {b^2}{\cos ^2}\alpha $
${p^2} = {a^2} + {b^2}$
${p^2} = {b^2}{\sin ^2}\alpha + {a^2}{\cos ^2}\alpha $
None of these
An ellipse is inscribed in a circle and a point within the circle is chosen at random. If the probability that this point lies outside the ellipse is $2/3 $ then the eccentricity of the ellipse is :
Let $\frac{x^2}{a^2}+\frac{y^2}{b^2}=1, a>b$ be an ellipse with foci $F_1$ and $F_2$. Let $AO$ be its semi-minor axis, where $O$ is the centre of the ellipse. The lines $A F_1$ and $A F_2$, when extended, cut the ellipse again at points $B$ and $C$ respectively. Suppose that the $\triangle A B C$ is equilateral. Then, the eccentricity of the ellipse is
Find the equation for the ellipse that satisfies the given conditions: $b=3,\,\, c=4,$ centre at the origin; foci on the $x$ axis.
If the eccentricity of the two ellipse $\frac{{{x^2}}}{{169}} + \frac{{{y^2}}}{{25}} = 1$ and $\frac{{{x^2}}}{{{a^2}}} + \frac{{{y^2}}}{{{b^2}}} = 1$ are equal, then the value of $a/b$ is
If the radius of the largest circle with centre $(2,0)$ inscribed in the ellipse $x^2+4 y^2=36$ is $r$, then $12 r^2$ is equal to
