The equation of a circle which touches the straight lines $x + y = 2$, $x - y = 2$ and also touches the circle $x^2 + y^2 = 1$ is:
The product of perpendiculars from the two foci of the ellipse $$ \frac{x^2}{9} + \frac{y^2}{25} = 1 $$ on the tangent at any point on the ellipse is:
Sum of the positive roots of the equation: \[ \begin{vmatrix} x^2 + 2x + 2 & x + 2 & 1 \\ 2x + 1 & x - 1 & 1 \\ x + 2 & -1 & 1 \end{vmatrix} = is \; 0. \]
