Suppose that the foci of the ellipse x29+y25=1 are f1,0 and f2,0 where f1>0 and f2<0. Let P1 and P2 be two parabolas with a common vertex at 0,0 and with foci at f1,0 and 2f2,0, respectively. Let T1 be a tangent to P1 which passes through 2f2,0 and T2 be a tangent to P2 which passes through f1,0. If m1is the slope of T1 and m2 is the slope of T2 then the value of 1m12+m22 is

Detailed Solution
Wehave e2=1-b2a2=1-59=49 ⇒e=23∴f1,0=2,0 and f2,0=−2,0⇒P1⇒y2=8x and P2⇒y2=−16x∴Equations of tangents T1 and T2 satisfy the following conditioins0=−4m1+2m1, 2m2−4m2=0⇒m12=12, m22=2⇒1m12=2, 1m22=4'⇒1m12+m22=4
