Question:medium

The $x$-intercept of one of the common tangents to the circle \[ 3x^2+3y^2=169 \] and the parabola \[ y^2=26x \] is:

Show Hint

For the parabola $y^2=4ax$, always remember the slope form of tangent: \[ y=mx+\frac{a}{m}. \] It is extremely useful when dealing with common tangent problems.

Let the latus rectum of the hyperbola $ \frac{x^2}{9} - \frac{y^2}{b^2} = 1 $ subtend an angle of $ \frac{\pi}{3} $ at the center of the hyperbola. If $ b^2 $ is equal to $ \frac{1}{m} \left( 1 + \sqrt{n} \right) $, where $ l $ and $ m $ are coprime numbers, then $ l^2 + m^2 + n^2 $ is equal to $\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_$.

Let $ e_1 $ be the eccentricity of the hyperbola $$ \frac{x^2}{16} - \frac{y^2}{9} = 1 $$ and $ e_2 $ be the eccentricity of the ellipse $$ \frac{x^2}{a^2} + \frac{y^2}{b^2} = 1, \quad a > b, $$ which passes through the foci of the hyperbola. If $ e_1 e_2 = 1 $, then the length of the chord of the ellipse parallel to the x-axis and passing through (0, 2) is:
