If $P$ lies in the first quadrant on the ellipse $\frac{x^2}{a^2} + \frac{y^2}{b^2} = 1$ (where $a > b$),and the tangent and normal drawn at $P$ meet the major axis at points $T$ and $N$ respectively,then the value of $\frac{(\left| F_2N \right| + \left| F_1N \right|)(\left| F_2T \right| - \left| F_1T \right|)}{(\left| F_2N \right| - \left| F_1N \right|)(\left| F_2T \right| + \left| F_1T \right|)}$ is equal to (where $F_1$ and $F_2$ are the foci $(ae, 0)$ and $(-ae, 0)$ respectively).

If $CP$ and $CD$ are a pair of semi-conjugate diameters of the ellipse $\frac{x^{2}}{a^{2}}+\frac{y^{2}}{b^{2}}=1$,then $CP^{2}+CD^{2}=$

Let $E_1 = \frac{x^2}{9} + \frac{y^2}{4} = 1$ and $E_2 = \frac{x^2}{a^2} + \frac{y^2}{b^2} = 1$ be two ellipses and $R$ be a rectangle with sides parallel to the coordinate axes. Let $E_1$ be the inscribed ellipse in $R$ and $E_2$ be the circumscribed ellipse on $R$. If $E_2$ passes through $(0, 4)$,then:
