Detailed Solution

Given ellipse is x216+y225611=1 where a2=16,b2=25611 Let P=(4cosϕ,1611sinϕ) be point on ellipse

Equation of tangent at P  is 4cosϕx+11sinϕy=16(1)

Given circle x2+y2-2x-15=0 centre(C)=(1,0),r=4
Since (1) is tangent to the circle then r=d

4=4cosϕ-1616cos2ϕ+11sin2ϕ 16(16cos2ϕ+11sin2ϕ)=16(cosϕ-4)2 16cos2ϕ+11-11cos2ϕ=cos2ϕ+16-8cosϕ 4cos2ϕ+8cosϕ-5=0 4cos2ϕ+10cosϕ-2cosϕ-5=0 (2cosϕ-1)(2cosϕ+5)=0 2cosϕ-1=0(-1cosϕ1) cos ϕ=12 ϕ=2nπ±π3,nz If n=0 then ϕ=±π3
