If $$y = {m_1}x + {c_1}$$ and $$y = {m_2}x + {c_2}$$, $${m_1} \ne {m_2}$$ are two common tangents of circle $${x^2} + {y^2} = 2$$ and parabola y² = x, then the value of $$8|{m_1}{m_2}|$$ is equal to :

Let $$x = 2t$$, $$y = {{{t^2}} \over 3}$$ be a conic. Let S be the focus and B be the point on the axis of the conic such that $$SA \bot BA$$, where A is any point on the conic. If k is the ordinate of the centroid of the $$\Delta$$SAB, then $$\mathop {\lim }\limits_{t \to 1} k$$ is equal to :

A particle is moving in the xy-plane along a curve C passing through the point (3, 3). The tangent to the curve C at the point P meets the x-axis at Q. If the y-axis bisects the segment PQ, then C is a parabola with

Let the maximum area of the triangle that can be inscribed in the ellipse $${{{x^2}} \over {{a^2}}} + {{{y^2}} \over 4} = 1,\,a > 2$$, having one of its vertices at one end of the major axis of the ellipse and one of its sides parallel to the y-axis, be $$6\sqrt 3 $$. Then the eccentricity of the ellipse is :
