Let $$PQ$$ be a focal chord of the parabola $${y^2} = 4ax$$. The tangents to the parabola at $$P$$ and $$Q$$ meet at a point lying on the line $$y=2x+a$$, $$a>0$$.

If chord $$PQ$$ subtends an angle $$\theta $$ at the vertex of $${y^2} = 4ax$$, then tan $$\theta = $$

The ellipse $${E_1}:{{{x^2}} \over 9} + {{{y^2}} \over 4} = 1$$ is inscribed in a rectangle $$R$$ whose sides are parallel to the coordinate axes. Another ellipse $${E_2}$$ passing through the point $$(0, 4)$$ circumscribes the rectangle $$R$$. The eccentricity of the ellipse $${E_2}$$ is

Let $$(x, y)$$ be any point on the parabola $${y^2} = 4x$$. Let $$P$$ be the point that divides the line segment from $$(0, 0)$$ to $$(x, y)$$ in the ratio $$1 : 3$$. Then the locus of $$P$$ is

Let $$P(6, 3)$$ be a point on the hyperbola $${{{x^2}} \over {{a^2}}} - {{{y^2}} \over {{b^2}}} = 1$$. If the normal at the point $$P$$ intersects the $$x$$-axis at $$(9, 0)$$, then the eccentricity of the hyperbola is
