The curve represented by $x = 3(\cos t + \sin t)$ and $y = 4(\cos t - \sin t)$ is

The distance between the foci of the ellipse $3x^2 + 4y^2 = 48$ is

Consider an ellipse with foci at $(5, 15)$ and $(21, 15)$. If the $X$-axis is a tangent to the ellipse,then the length of its major axis equals

Let $P(x_1, y_1)$ and $Q(x_2, y_2)$ be two distinct points on the ellipse $\frac{x^2}{9}+\frac{y^2}{4}=1$ such that $y_1 > 0$ and $y_2 > 0$. Let $C$ denote the circle $x^2+y^2=9$,and $M$ be the point $(3,0)$. Suppose the line $x=x_1$ intersects $C$ at $R$,and the line $x=x_2$ intersects $C$ at $S$,such that the $y$-coordinates of $R$ and $S$ are positive. Let $\angle ROM = \frac{\pi}{6}$ and $\angle SOM = \frac{\pi}{3}$,where $O$ denotes the origin $(0,0)$. Let $|XY|$ denote the length of the line segment $XY$. Then which of the following statements is (are) True?
$(A)$ The equation of the line joining $P$ and $Q$ is $2x+3y=3(1+\sqrt{3})$
$(B)$ The equation of the line joining $P$ and $Q$ is $2x+y=3(1+\sqrt{3})$
$(C)$ If $N_2=(x_2, 0)$,then $3|N_2Q|=2|N_2S|$
$(D)$ If $N_1=(x_1, 0)$,then $9|N_1P|=4|N_1R|$

If $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{a}x + \frac{1}{b}y = 2$ touches the ellipse $\frac{x^2}{a^2} + \frac{y^2}{b^2} = 1$,then its eccentric angle $\theta$ is equal to: ................ $^o$

Let the product of the focal distances of the point $\left(\sqrt{3}, \frac{1}{2}\right)$ on the ellipse $\frac{x^2}{a^2} + \frac{y^2}{b^2} = 1$ $(a > b)$ be $\frac{7}{4}$. Then the absolute difference of the eccentricities of two such ellipses is
