Conic Sections

Equations of two diameters of a circle are 2x-3y=5 and 3x-4y=7. The line joining the points (- 227,-4 ) and (- 17,3 ) intersects the circle at only one point P( , ). Then, 17 - is equal to .

If the points of intersection of two distinct conics x2+y2=4b and x216+ y2b2=1 lie on the curve y2=3x2, then 3 3 times the area of the rectangle formed by the intersection points is .

Let P( , ) be a point on the parabola y2=4x. If P also lies on the chord of the parabola x2=8y whose mid point is (1, 54 ), then ( -28)( -8) is equal to .

Let e1 be the eccentricity of the hyperbola x216- y29=1 and e2 be the eccentricity of the ellipse x2a2+ y2b2=1, a>b, which passes through the foci of the hyperbola. If e1e2=1, then the length of the chord of the ellipse parallel to the x-axis and passing through (0,2) is :

Consider a circle (x- )2+(y- )2=50, where , >0. If the circle touches the line y+x=0 at the point P, whose distance from the origin is 4 2, then ( + )2 is equal to .
