The angle between a pair of tangents drawn from a point $$P$$ to the parabola $${y^2} = 4ax$$ is $${45^ \circ }$$. Show that the locus of the point $$P$$ is a hyperbola.

If $$P=(x, y)$$, $${F_1} = \left( {3,0} \right),\,{F_2} = \left( { - 3,0} \right)$$ and $$16{x^2} + 25{y^2} = 400,$$ then $$P{F_1} + P{F_2}$$ equals

The number of values of $$c$$ such that the straight line $$y=4x + c$$ touches the curve $$\left( {{x^2}/4} \right) + {y^2} = 1$$ is

$$C_1$$ and $$C_2$$ are two concentric circles, the radius of $$C_2$$ being twice that of $$C_1$$. From a point P on $$C_2$$, tangents PA and PB are drawn to $$C_1$$. Prove that the centroid of the triangle PAB lies on $$C_1$$.
