I have a nice way that results in   quite a failure...please check n help!  Let     B(p,q)   & inclination of BC  is  θ  ⇒ inclination of AB  is 90°+θ.     BC = h,  AB=k .  B is on ellipse ⇒  b^2 p^2 +a^2 q^2 =a^2 b^2  _(−−−−−−−−−−−) ^(−−−−−−−−−−−)         x_C = p+hcos θ ;  y_C = q+hsin θ        x_A = p−ksin θ ;  y_A = q+kcos θ    Ellipse  eq:   (x^2 /a^2 )+(y^2 /b^2 )=1        ⇒   slope of a normal at (x,y) is       m = −(dx/dy)= ((a^2 /b^2 ))((y/x))     m_(BC) = tan θ = ((a^2 /b^2 ))(((q+hsin θ)/(p+hcos θ))) ..(i)     m_(AB) =−(1/(tan θ))=((a^2 /b^2 ))(((q+kcos θ)/(p−ksin θ))) ..(ii)  ⇒  (((b^2 p)/(cos θ))−((a^2 q)/(sin θ)))=(a^2 −b^2 )h    ...(I)  ⇒  −(((b^2 p)/(sin θ))+((a^2 q)/(cos θ)))=(a^2 −b^2 )k   ...(II)  Now C and A lie on ellipse ⇒    (x_C ^2 /a^2 )+(y_C ^2 /b^2 )=1  or   b^2 (x_C )^2 +a^2 (y_C )^2 =a^2 b^2   ⇒b^2 (p+hcos θ)^2 +a^2 (q+hsin θ)^2 =a^2 b^2   and as   b^2 p^2 +a^2 q^2 =a^2 b^2    so we have    2h(b^2 pcos θ+a^2 qsin θ)          +h^2 (a^2 sin^2 θ+b^2 cos^2 θ) = 0  ⇒ −(((b^2 p)/(sin θ))+((a^2 q)/(sin θ)))=((h(a^2 sin^2 θ+b^2 cos^2 θ))/(2sin θcos θ))  Now  using (II),   (a^2 −b^2 )k=((h(a^2 sin^2 θ+b^2 cos^2 θ))/(2sin θcos θ))  ...(iii)  (x_A ^2 /a^2 )+(y_A ^2 /b^2 )=1 ⇒  b^2 (x_A )^2 +a^2 (y_A )^2 =a^2 b^2   ⇒     b^2 (p−ksin θ)^2 +a^2 (q+kcos θ)^2 =a^2 b^2   and as   b^2 p^2 +a^2 q^2 =a^2 b^2    so we have   2k(−b^2 psin θ+a^2 qcos θ)         +k^2 (b^2 sin^2 θ+a^2 cos^2 θ) = 0  ⇒  ((b^2 p)/(cos θ))−((a^2 q)/(sin θ)) = ((k(b^2 sin^2 θ+a^2 cos^2 θ))/(2sin θcos θ))  Now  using (I),   (a^2 −b^2 )h=((k(b^2 sin^2 θ+a^2 cos^2 θ))/(2sin θcos θ))  ...(iv)  and  already we have    (a^2 −b^2 )k=((h(a^2 sin^2 θ+b^2 cos^2 θ))/(2sin θcos θ))  ...(iii)  Now   (iii)×(iv)  with  m=tan θ gives  4(a^2 −b^2 )^2 m^2 =(b^2 m^2 +a^2 )(a^2 m^2 +b^3 )  ⇒  m^4 +{((a^4 +b^4 −4(a^2 −b^2 )^2 )/(a^2 b^2 ))}m^2 +1=0    let  a/b = μ  ⇒  m^4 +{μ^2 +(1/μ^2 )−4(μ−(1/μ))^2 }m^2 +1=0  {m^2 +1−(3/2)(μ−(1/μ))^2 }^2          = [1−(3/2)(μ−(1/μ))^2 ]^2 −1  Now  tragedy is unless 𝛍=1 , m^2 ∉R        so  mrW Sir  kindly help me  out  of this turmoil ....  If  m=tan θ,  were real h and k could  easily be obtained...
