Consider the ellipse

$\frac{x^2}{4}+\frac{y^2}{3}=1$

Let $H (\alpha, 0), 0<\alpha<2$, be a point. A straight line drawn through $H$ parallel to the $y$-axis crosses the ellipse and its auxiliary circle at points $E$ and $F$ respectively, in the first quadrant. The tangent to the ellipse at the point $E$ intersects the positive $x$-axis at a point $G$. Suppose the straight line joining $F$ and the origin makes an angle $\phi$ with the positive $x$-axis.
