Let and be two distinct points on the ellipse

+ = 1

such that , and . Let C denote the circle , and M be the point (3, 0). Suppose the line intersects C at R, and the line intersects C at S, such that the y-coordinates of R and S are positive. Let and , where O denotes the origin (0, 0). Let |XY| denote the length of the line segment XY. Then which of the following statements is (are) TRUE?

Answer: (A),(C)

Solution

R and S are the auxiliary-circle points of P and Q, so the eccentric angles are and : , , , . Slope of PQ \dfracExtra open brace or missing close brace{\sqrt$3 -
