Show that the tangents at the extremities of the latus rectum of an ellipse intersect on the corresponding directrix.

A parabola is drawn whose focus is one of the foci of the ellipse x^2/a^2 + y^2/b^2 = 1 (where a>b) and whose directrix passes through the other focus and perpendicular to the major axes of the ellipse. Then the eccentricity of the ellipse for which the length of latus-rectum of the ellipse and the parabola are same is

A focus of an ellipse is at the origin. The directrix is the line x =4 and the eccentricity is 1/2 Then the length of the semi-major axis is

The normal at a point P, on the ellipse x^2+4y^2=16 meets the x-axis at Q. If M is the mid-point of the line segment PQ, then the locus of M intersects the latus-rectum of the given ellipse at the points :

If the distance between the foci of an ellipse is equal to length of minor axis, then its eccentricity is

Statement 1 : In an ellipse, the sum of the distances between foci is always less than the sum of focal distances of any point on it. Statement 2 : The eccentricity of any ellipse is less than 1.

The latus rectum of the ellipse 16x^2+y^2=16 is:
