If the perpendicular distance from the focus of an ellipse $\frac{x^2}{9} + \frac{y^2}{b^2} = 1$ $(b < 3)$ to its corresponding directrix is $\frac{4}{\sqrt{5}}$,then the slope of the tangent to this ellipse drawn at $\left(\frac{3}{\sqrt{2}}, \frac{b}{\sqrt{2}}\right)$ is

Planet $M$ orbits around its sun,$S$,in an elliptical orbit with the sun at one of the foci. When $M$ is closest to $S$,it is $2$ units away. When $M$ is farthest from $S$,it is $18$ units away. Assuming $S$ is at the origin $(0, 0)$ and the other focus lies on the negative $y$-axis,find the equation of the elliptical orbit of planet $M$.

The extremities of the latera recta of the ellipses $\frac{x^2}{a^2} + \frac{y^2}{b^2} = 1$ $(a > b)$ having a given major axis $2a$ lie on:

If $P$ lies in the first quadrant on the ellipse $\frac{x^2}{a^2} + \frac{y^2}{b^2} = 1$ (where $a > b$),and the tangent and normal drawn at $P$ meet the major axis at points $T$ and $N$ respectively,then the value of $\frac{(\left| F_2N \right| + \left| F_1N \right|)(\left| F_2T \right| - \left| F_1T \right|)}{(\left| F_2N \right| - \left| F_1N \right|)(\left| F_2T \right| + \left| F_1T \right|)}$ is equal to (where $F_1$ and $F_2$ are the foci $(ae, 0)$ and $(-ae, 0)$ respectively).
