Question Number 51590 by peter frank last updated on 28/Dec/18
The line y=mx+c touches  ellipse (x^2 /a^2 )+(y^2 /b^2 )=1  prove that the foot of   perpendicular from  focus into this line lie on  auxillary circle   x^2 +y^2 =a^2
$${The}\:{line}\:{y}={mx}+{c}\:{touches} \\ $$$${ellipse}\:\frac{{x}^{\mathrm{2}} }{{a}^{\mathrm{2}} }+\frac{{y}^{\mathrm{2}} }{{b}^{\mathrm{2}} }=\mathrm{1} \\ $$$${prove}\:{that}\:{the}\:{foot}\:{of}\: \\ $$$${perpendicular}\:{from} \\ $$$${focus}\:{into}\:{this}\:{line}\:{lie}\:{on} \\ $$$${auxillary}\:{circle}\: \\ $$$${x}^{\mathrm{2}} +{y}^{\mathrm{2}} ={a}^{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$
