Any point on  (t+2)(x+y)=1 is (α,1t+2α)
Equation of chord of contact is  4xα+16y
 (1t+2α)=1
 α(4x16y)+(16t+2y1)=0
The chord of contact passes through the intersection of x4y=0 and  (16t+2y1)=0
 The point of intersection is  (t+24,t+216)
It lies inside the ellipse if 4(t+24)2+16(t+216)21<0

=(452)<t<(452)t=3,1
