The curve $xy = c, (c > 0)$, and the circle $x^2 + y^2 = 1$ touch at two points. Then the distance between the points of contacts is

A tangent to the hyperbola $\frac{{{x^2}}}{4} – \frac{{{y^2}}}{2} = 1$ meets $x-$ axis at $P$ and $y-$ axis at $Q$. Lines $PR$ and $QR$ are drawn such that $OPRQ$ is a rectangle (where $O$ is the origin). Then $R$ lies on

Let the tangent to the parabola $y^2=12 x$ at the point $(3, \alpha)$ be perpendicular to the line $2 x+2 y=3$.Then the square of distance of the point $(6,-4)$from the normal to the hyperbola $\alpha^2 x^2-9 y^2=9 \alpha^2$at its point $(\alpha-1, \alpha+2)$ is equal to $……..$.

Consider the hyperbola

$\frac{x^2}{100}-\frac{y^2}{64}=1$

with foci at $S$ and $S_1$, where $S$ lies on the positive $x$-axis. Let $P$ be a point on the hyperbola, in the first quadrant. Let $\angle SPS _1=\alpha$, with $\alpha<\frac{\pi}{2}$. The straight line passing through the point $S$ and having the same slope as that of the tangent at $P$ to the hyperbola, intersects the straight line $S_1 P$ at $P_1$. Let $\delta$ be the distance of $P$ from the straight line $SP _1$, and $\beta= S _1 P$. Then the greatest integer less than or equal to $\frac{\beta \delta}{9} \sin \frac{\alpha}{2}$ is. . . . . . . 

The length of the transverse axis of a hyperbola is $7$ and it passes through the point $(5, -2)$. The equation of the hyperbola is
