There are two common tangents to the circle x 2

These are x = 1 and x = −1

Out of these, x = 1 is nearer to the point P (1/2, 1).

Thus a directrix of the required ellipse is x = 1.

If Q(x, y) is any point on the ellipse, then its distance from the focus is QP and its

which is equivalent to |S 1
P − S2 P | = constant, where S 1

The above equation represents a hyperbola. So, we have 2a = K

and 2ae = S 1
S2 = 2

where 2 a is the transverse axis and e is the eccentricity. Dividing, we have e =

Since, e > 1 for a hyperbola, therefore K < 2 . Also, K must be a positive quantity. So, we have K ∈ (0, 2).
