Question

If the tangent to the ellipse x 2 + 4 y 2 = 16 at P 4 cos ⁡ θ , 2 sin ⁡ θ is also a normal to the circle x 2 + y 2 = 8 x + 4 y , then the sum of all possible values of θ is equal to ∀ θ ∈ 0 , 2 π, π 2, π 4, 5 π 2, 7 π 4

MARKS App · Accepted Answer

Tangent to the ellipse is x cos ⁡ θ + 2 y sin ⁡ θ = 4 which is a normal to the given circle ⇒ it satisfies 4 , 2 ⇒ sin ⁡ θ + cos ⁡ θ = 1 ∴ θ = 0 , π 2
