The number of points of intersection of $|z - (4 + 3i)| = 2$ and $|z| + |z - 4| = 6$,$z \in \mathbb{C}$ is

An ellipse $\frac{x^2}{a^2} + \frac{y^2}{b^2} = 1, a > b$ and the parabola $x^2 = 4(y + b)$ are such that the two foci of the ellipse and the end points of the latus rectum of the parabola are the vertices of a square. The eccentricity of the ellipse is

$PQ$ is a double ordinate of the parabola $y^2 = 4ax$. What is the locus of the point of intersection of the normals at $P$ and $Q$?

Through the vertex $O$ of the parabola $y^2 = 4ax$,two chords $OP$ and $OQ$ are drawn,and the circles on $OP$ and $OQ$ as diameters intersect in $R$. If $\theta_1, \theta_2$,and $\phi$ are the angles made with the axis by the tangents at $P$ and $Q$ on the parabola and by $OR$ respectively,then the value of $\cot \theta_1 + \cot \theta_2$ is:

The locus of the midpoints of the chords of the hyperbola $x^2 - y^2 = a^2$ which touch the parabola $y^2 = 4ax$ is:

The equation of the common tangent to the curves ${y^2} = 8x$ and $xy = -1$ is
