If the angles $$A, B$$ and $$C$$ of a triangle are in an arithmetic progression and if $$a, b$$ and $$c$$ denote the lengths of the sides opposite to $$A, B$$ and $$C$$ respectively, then the value of the expression $${a \over c}\sin 2C + {c \over a}\sin 2A$$ is

The circle $${x^2} + {y^2} - 8x = 0$$ and hyperbola $${{{x^2}} \over 9} - {{{y^2}} \over 4} = 1$$ intersect at the points $$A$$ and $$B$$.

Equation of the circle with $$AB$$ as its diameter is

Let $$A$$ and $$B$$ be two distinct points on the parabola $${y^2} = 4x$$. If the axis of the parabola touches a circle of radius $$r$$ having $$AB$$ as its diameter, then the slope of the line joining $$A$$ and $$B$$ can be

The line $$2x + y = 1$$ is tangent to the hyperbola $${{{x^2}} \over {{a^2}}} - {{{y^2}} \over {{b^2}}} = 1$$.

If this line passes through the point of intersection of the nearest directrix and the $$x$$-axis, then the eccentricity of the hyperbola is
