$A$ point $(4, -1)$ lies on an ellipse whose axes are parallel to the coordinate axes. If the line $x + 4y - 10 = 0$ is tangent to the ellipse at this point,find its equation $(a > b)$.

Let the equations of two ellipses be $E_1: \frac{x^2}{3} + \frac{y^2}{2} = 1$ and $E_2: \frac{x^2}{16} + \frac{y^2}{b^2} = 1$. If the product of their eccentricities is $\frac{1}{2}$,then the length of the minor axis of ellipse $E_2$ is

An ellipse is drawn by taking a diameter of the circle $(x - 1)^2 + y^2 = 1$ as its semi-minor axis and a diameter of the circle $x^2 + (y - 2)^2 = 4$ as its semi-major axis. If the center of the ellipse is at the origin and its axes are the coordinate axes,then the equation of the ellipse is:

The minimum length of the intercept between the coordinate axes made by a tangent of the ellipse $\frac{x^2}{64}+\frac{y^2}{4}=1$ is

Consider two straight lines,each of which is tangent to both the circle $x^2 + y^2 = \frac{1}{2}$ and the parabola $y^2 = 4x$. Let these lines intersect at the point $Q$.
