Solution:

  1. Equation of given ellipse is

3x2+5y2=32

Now, the slope of tangent and normal at point P(2,2) to the ellipse (i) are respectively

mT=dydx|(2,2) and mN=dxdy|(2,2)

On differentiating ellipse (i), w.r.t. x, we get

6x+10ydydx=0dydx=3x5y

So, mT=3x5y|(2,2)=35 and mN=5y3y|(2,2)=53

Now, equation of tangent and normal to the given ellipse (i) at point P(2,2) are

(y2)=35(x2)

and (y2)=53(x2) respectively.

It is given that point of intersection of tangent and normal are Q and R at X-axis respectively.

So, Q163,0 and R45,0

Area of PQR=12(QR)× height

=12×6815×2=6815 sq units [QR=163452=6815=6815 and height =2]
