The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we need to analyze the given ellipse and the points P and Q on it, whose eccentric angles differ by \(90^\circ\). ### Step 1: Understand the Ellipse Equation The equation of the ellipse is given by: \[ \frac{x^2}{a^2} + \frac{y^2}{b^2} = 1 \] This represents an ellipse centered at the origin with semi-major axis \(a\) and semi-minor axis \(b\). **Hint:** Remember that the points on the ellipse can be represented in terms of their eccentric angles using parametric equations. ### Step 2: Define Points P and Q Let the eccentric angles of points P and Q be \(\theta\) and \(\theta + 90^\circ\) respectively. The coordinates of points P and Q can be expressed as: - Point \(P\) at angle \(\theta\): \[ P = (a \cos \theta, b \sin \theta) \] - Point \(Q\) at angle \(\theta + 90^\circ\): \[ Q = (a \cos(\theta + 90^\circ), b \sin(\theta + 90^\circ)) = (-b \sin \theta, a \cos \theta) \] **Hint:** Use trigonometric identities to find the coordinates of point Q. ### Step 3: Find the Tangent Lines at Points P and Q The equation of the tangent line at point P is given by: \[ \frac{x \cos \theta}{a} + \frac{y \sin \theta}{b} = 1 \] The equation of the tangent line at point Q is: \[ \frac{x (-\sin \theta)}{a} + \frac{y \cos \theta}{b} = 1 \] **Hint:** Use the point-slope form of the tangent line for an ellipse. ### Step 4: Square and Add the Tangent Equations Now, we square both tangent equations and add them: 1. Squaring the first tangent equation: \[ \left(\frac{x \cos \theta}{a} + \frac{y \sin \theta}{b}\right)^2 = 1 \] 2. Squaring the second tangent equation: \[ \left(\frac{-x \sin \theta}{a} + \frac{y \cos \theta}{b}\right)^2 = 1 \] Adding these two equations gives: \[ \left(\frac{x \cos \theta}{a} + \frac{y \sin \theta}{b}\right)^2 + \left(\frac{-x \sin \theta}{a} + \frac{y \cos \theta}{b}\right)^2 = 2 \] **Hint:** Remember to expand the squares and combine like terms. ### Step 5: Simplify the Result After expanding and simplifying, we use the identity \(\sin^2 \theta + \cos^2 \theta = 1\) to simplify the equation. The result will show that the locus of the points formed by P and Q satisfies: \[ \frac{x^2}{a^2} + \frac{y^2}{b^2} = 2 \] **Hint:** Look for opportunities to use trigonometric identities to simplify your expressions. ### Step 6: Conclusion The locus derived from the above steps confirms that the points P and Q, whose eccentric angles differ by \(90^\circ\), lie on the ellipse defined by: \[ \frac{x^2}{a^2} + \frac{y^2}{b^2} = 2 \] Thus, we can conclude that all options provided in the question are correct based on the derived equations.

To solve the problem step by step, we need to analyze the given ellipse and the points P and Q on it, whose eccentric angles differ by \(90^\circ\). ### Step 1: Understand the Ellipse Equation The equation of the ellipse is given by: \[ \frac{x^2}{a^2} + \frac{y^2}{b^2} = 1 \] This represents an ellipse centered at the origin with semi-major axis \(a\) and semi-minor axis \(b\). ...
