Question

Suppose that the foci of the ellipse x29+y25=1 are (f1,0) and (f2,0) where f1>0 and f2<0. Let P1 and P2 be two parabolas with a common vertex at (0,0) and with foci at (f1,0) and (2f2,0) respectively. Let T1 be a tangent to P1 which passes through (2f2,0) and T2 be a tangent to P2 which passes through (f1,0). If m1 is the slope of T1 and m2 is the slope of T2, then the value of (1m21+m22) is

x29+y25=1, e=159=23
Focus (±ae,0)=(±2,0)
f1=2,f2=2
Parabola P1=y2=4×2x
y2=8x(1)
Parabola P2=y2=4×4x
y2=16x(2)
