If S be the focus and G be the point where the normal at P meets the axis of hyperbola, then prove that SG=eSP and the tangent and normal at P bisects the external and internal angles between the focal distances of P.

If the sum of slopes of concurrent normals to the curve xy=4 is equal to the sum of ordinates of conormal points then locus of P is

HARD

If the product of the slopes of the tangents drawn from an external point P to the hyperbola x2a2-y2b2=1 is a constant k2, then the locus of P is

If the hyperbola x2-y24=1 passes through the foci of the ellipse x24+y2b2=1,(0<b<2) then the value of b2 is

Four points are such that the line joining any two points is perpendicular to the line joining other two points. If three points out of these lie on a rectangular hyperbola, then the fourth point will lie on.
