  To make the ellipse 4𝑥^2 + 𝑦^2 + 𝑎𝑥 + 𝑏𝑦 + 𝑐 = 0 lie tangent to the 𝑥 axis at the origin and pass through the point (−1,2), what values of the constants 𝑎, 𝑏, and 𝑐 should have?

passes through the point (−1,2)  ⇒4+4−a+2b+c = 0 , −a+2b+c = −8(i)  tangent line at origin ⇒y=0  ⇒(a/2)(0+x)+(b/2)(0+y)+c = 0  ⇒x + y+2c = 0 ; y=−x−2c we get  { ((a=0)),((c=0)) :}  equation(i) become 2b = −8,b=−4  then the equation of ellipse is   → 4x^2 +y^2 −4y = 0

4x^2 +y^2 +ax+by+c=0  passing through (0,0):  4×0^2 +0^2 +a×0+b×0+c=0  ⇒c=0  8x+2y(dy/dx)+a+b(dy/dx)=0  tangent x axis at (0,0):  8×0+2×0×0+a+b×0=0  ⇒a=0  4x^2 +y^2 +by=0  passing through (−1,2):  4×(−1)^2 +2^2 +b×2=0  ⇒b=−4    ⇒eqn. 4x^2 +y^2 −4y=0
