If the tangents are drawn to the ellipse x2+2y2=2, then the locus of the mid-point of the intercept made by the tangents between the coordinate-axes is
x2+2y2=2⇒x2(√2)2+y2=1Equation of tangent in parametric form isx2√2cosθ+ysinθ=1Intersects x-axis at A (√2cosθ,θ),y-axis at B (0,1sinθ)Let p(h, k) be the mid-point of intercept AB∴h=√2cosθ2,k=12sinθ⇒cosθ=1√2h,sinθ=12k∴12h2+14k2=1∴(locus of h, k) is 12x2+14y2=1
