Detailed Solution

A tangent to ellipse is x3cosϕ+y2sinϕ=1

It intersects x = 3 and x = -3 at points

P3,2(1cosϕ)sinϕ&Q3,2(1+cosϕ)sinϕ

The circle with PQ as diameter is 

(x+3)(x3)+y2(1cosϕ)sinϕy2(1+cosϕ)sinϕ=0x2+y254sinϕy=0

It is a family of circles passing through the intersection of the circle x2+y25=0 and the line y = 0, which is (±5,0)
