Solution
(c) The line $y = 4x + c$ touches the ellipse $\frac{{{x^2}}}{4} + {y^2} = 1$
$\therefore \frac{{{x^2}}}{4} + {(4x + c)^2} – 1 = 0$ ==> $65{x^2} + 32cx + 4{c^2} – 4 = 0$
has equal roots. Therefore $\Delta = 0$
$\therefore 64{c^2} – 4.65.4({c^2} – 1) = 0$ ==>$4{c^2} – 65{c^2} + 65 = 0$
==> ${c^2} = \frac{{65}}{{61}}$==> $c = \pm \sqrt {\frac{{65}}{{61}}} $ .
Hence, there are two values of $c.$
