Let '$$d$$' be the perpendicular distance from the centre of the ellipse $${{{x^2}} \over {{a^2}}} + {{{y^2}} \over {{b^2}}} = 1$$ to the tangent drawn at a point $$P$$ on the ellipse. If $${F_1}$$ and $${F_2}$$ are the two foci of the ellipse, then show that $${\left( {P{F_1} - P{F_2}} \right)^2} = 4{a^2}\left( {1 - {{{b^2}} \over {{d^2}}}} \right)$$.

Through the vertex $$O$$ of parabola $${y^2} = 4x$$, chords $$OP$$ and $$OQ$$ are drawn at right angles to one another . Show that for all positions of $$P$$, $$PQ$$ cuts the axis of the parabola at a fixed point. Also find the locus of the middle point of $$PQ$$.

Three normals are drawn from the point $$(c, 0)$$ to the curve $${y^2} = x.$$ Show that $$c$$ must be greater than $$1/2$$. One normal is always the $$x$$-axis. Find $$c$$ for which the other two normals are perpendicular to each other.

$$A$$ is point on the parabola $${y^2} = 4ax$$. The normal at $$A$$ cuts the parabola again at point $$B$$. If $$AB$$ subtends a right angle at the vertex of the parabola. Find the slope of $$AB$$.
