Detailed Solution

The locus of the point of intersection of perpendicular tangents to an ellipse x2a2+y2b2=1 is its director circle x2+y2=a2+b2.

Ttangent to the ellipse y=mx+a2m2+b2
the above tangent is of the form  y =-1m x + c
passes through the focus S(ae, 0)
0=aem+cc=aem
y=xm+aemx+my=ae
(ymx)2+(x+my)2 =a2m2+b2+a2e21+m2x2+y2 b2=a21e2 =a2m2+a2x2+y2=a2
 The equation of tangent to ellipse y=mx+a2m2+b2..........(1)
is a tangent to the ellipse. The line passing through the centre (0, 0) and perpendicular to the line which is given in Eq.
 x + my = 0   .....(2) From Eqs. (1) and (2), we have
y=xxy+a2x2y2+b2x2+y2=a2x2+b2y2x2+y22=a2x2+b2y2
