The foci of a hyperbola are $(\pm 2, 0)$ and its eccentricity is $\frac{3}{2}$. $A$ tangent,perpendicular to the line $2x + 3y = 6$,is drawn at a point in the first quadrant on the hyperbola. If the intercepts made by the tangent on the $x$- and $y$-axes are $a$ and $b$ respectively,then $|6a| + |5b|$ is equal to $..........$.

$A$ normal to the hyperbola $4x^2 - 9y^2 = 36$ meets the coordinate axes $x$ and $y$ at $A$ and $B$,respectively. If the parallelogram $OABP$ ($O$ being the origin) is formed,then the locus of $P$ is

Let $P(3,3)$ be a point on the hyperbola $\frac{x^{2}}{a^{2}}-\frac{y^{2}}{b^{2}}=1$. If the normal to it at $P$ intersects the $x$-axis at $(9,0)$ and $e$ is its eccentricity,then the ordered pair $(a^{2}, e^{2})$ is equal to

If the line $y = 2x + \lambda$ is a tangent to the hyperbola $36x^2 - 25y^2 = 3600$, then $\lambda = $

$A$ tangent to the curve $9 b^2 x^2 - 4 a^2 y^2 = 36 a^2 b^2$ makes intercepts of unit length on each of the coordinate axes. Then the point $(a, b)$ lies on:
