    Conics Half yearly Past Paper questions....

    These were in my schools half yearly extension 2 paper...there are no solutions.... 1. X^2 +3Y^2 =1 (a) and 4X^2 +y^2 = 1 (b) are equations of 2 ellipses in the xy-plane. I) show that the equation X^2 +3Y^2 - 1 + K(4X^2 +y^2 - 1) =0 (*) where k is a constant represents a...

    Conics - Question from Patel

    Im having trouble with a couple of questions from the patel book, please help 1. show that the line lx + my + n = 0 touches the ellipse X^2 / a^2 +y^2 /b^2 =1 , if a^2 . l^2 +b^2 . m^2 = n^2 2.find the equation of two tangents to the ellipse 16X^2 + 25Y^2 =400 which are parallel to the...
