Suppose that the foci of the ellipse $\frac{x^2}{9}+\frac{y^2}{5}=1$ are $(f_1, 0)$ and $(f_2, 0)$ where $f_1 > 0$ and $f_2 < 0$. Let $P_1$ and $P_2$ be two parabolas with a common vertex at $(0,0)$ and with foci at $(f_1, 0)$ and $(2f_2, 0)$,respectively. Let $T_1$ be a tangent to $P_1$ which passes through $(2f_2, 0)$ and $T_2$ be a tangent to $P_2$ which passes through $(f_1, 0)$. If $m_1$ is the slope of $T_1$ and $m_2$ is the slope of $T_2$,then the value of $(\frac{1}{m_1^2} + m_2^2)$ is

Let the foci of the ellipse $\frac{x^{2}}{16}+\frac{y^{2}}{7}=1$ and the hyperbola $\frac{x^{2}}{144}-\frac{y^{2}}{\alpha}=\frac{1}{25}$ coincide. Then the length of the latus rectum of the hyperbola is:

Let the eccentricity of an ellipse $\frac{x^2}{a^2} + \frac{y^2}{b^2} = 1$ be the reciprocal of the eccentricity of the hyperbola $2x^2 - 2y^2 = 1$. If the ellipse intersects the hyperbola at right angles,then the square of the length of the latus-rectum of the ellipse is $................$.
