2b2/a
b2/a
a2/b
Two diameters with slopes m1,m2 are conjugate if
m1m2 = -1
m1m2 = - b2/a2
m1m2 = a2/b2
m1m2 = b2/a2
If e,e' be the eccentricities of two conics S and S' and if e2 + e'2 = 3, then both S and S' can be
Ellipses
Parabola
Hyperbolas
None of these
For the ellipse , the foci are
(± 1, 0)
(0, ± 1)
(± 1/√2, 0)
(± 1/2 , 0)
The locus of the points of intersection of perpendicular tangents to is
x2 + y2 = a2 + b2
x2 - y2 = a2 - b2
x2 + y2 = a2 - b2
x2 - y2 = a2 + b2
