Consider the circle $$C: x^2+y^2=4$$ and the parabola $$P: y^2=8 x$$. If the set of all values of $$\alpha$$, for which three chords of the circle $$C$$ on three distinct lines passing through the point $$(\alpha, 0)$$ are bisected by the parabola $$P$$ is the interval $$(p, q)$$, then $$(2 q-p)^2$$ is equal to __________.

Let a conic $$C$$ pass through the point $$(4,-2)$$ and $$P(x, y), x \geq 3$$, be any point on $$C$$. Let the slope of the line touching the conic $$C$$ only at a single point $$P$$ be half the slope of the line joining the points $$P$$ and $$(3,-5)$$. If the focal distance of the point $$(7,1)$$ on $$C$$ is $$d$$, then $$12 d$$ equals ________.

Let $$L_1, L_2$$ be the lines passing through the point $$P(0,1)$$ and touching the parabola $$9 x^2+12 x+18 y-14=0$$. Let $$Q$$ and $$R$$ be the points on the lines $$L_1$$ and $$L_2$$ such that the $$\triangle P Q R$$ is an isosceles triangle with base $$Q R$$. If the slopes of the lines $$Q R$$ are $$m_1$$ and $$m_2$$, then $$16\left(m_1^2+m_2^2\right)$$ is equal to __________.

Let a line perpendicular to the line $$2 x-y=10$$ touch the parabola $$y^2=4(x-9)$$ at the point P. The distance of the point P from the centre of the circle $$x^2+y^2-14 x-8 y+56=0$$ is __________.
