Let $e_1$ and $e_2$ be two distinct roots of the equation $x^2 - ax + 2 = 0$.  Let the sets  $S_1 = \{a \in \mathbb{R} : e_1 \text{ and } e_2 \text{ are the eccentricities of hyperbolas} \} = (\alpha, \beta),$ and $S_2 = \{a \in \mathbb{R} : e_1 \text{ and } e_2 \text{ are the eccentricities of an ellipse and a hyperbola, respectively} \} = (\gamma, \infty).$ Then $\alpha^2 + \beta^2 + \gamma^2$ is equal to:

An ellipse has eccentricity $\frac{1}{2}$ and one focus at the point $P\left( \frac{1}{2}, 1 \right)$. Its one directrix is the common tangent nearer to the point $P$, to the circle $x^2 + y^2 = 1$ and the hyperbola $x^2 - y^2 = 1$. The equation of the ellipse in the standard form is:

At the point of intersection of the rectangular hyperbola $xy = c^2$ and the parabola $y^2 = 4ax$,tangents to the rectangular hyperbola and the parabola make an angle $\theta$ and $\phi$ respectively with the $X$-axis. Then:

The ellipse $4x^2 + 9y^2 = 36$ and the hyperbola $4x^2 - y^2 = 4$ have the same foci and they intersect at right angles. Then,the equation of the circle passing through the points of intersection of the two conics is:
