Given an ellipse whose equation is x 2 9 + y 2 4 = 1 . A tangent is drawn at any point P on the ellipse. This tangent at the point P intersects the tangents at the extremities of the major axes i.e., x = + 3 and x = -3 at T and T', respectively. Now, taking TT' as diameter, a circle is constructed. For every point P on the ellipse, this circle will always pass through which of the following points ?
