If $(\alpha, \beta)$ is a point on the circle whose centre is on the $x$-axis and which touches the line $x + y = 0$ at $(2, -2)$,then the greatest value of $\alpha$ is

Let the tangent and normal at the point $(3 \sqrt{3}, 1)$ on the ellipse $\frac{x^2}{36} + \frac{y^2}{4} = 1$ meet the $y$-axis at the points $A$ and $B$ respectively. Let the circle $C$ be drawn taking $AB$ as a diameter and the line $x = 2 \sqrt{5}$ intersect $C$ at the points $P$ and $Q$. If the tangents at the points $P$ and $Q$ on the circle intersect at the point $(\alpha, \beta)$,then $\alpha^2 - \beta^2$ is equal to

Let $r$ be the radius of the circle,which touches the $x$-axis at point $(a, 0)$,where $a < 0$,and the parabola $y^2 = 9x$ at the point $(4, 6)$. Then $r$ is equal to . . . . . . .

For $n \in N$,let $S_{n} = \{ z \in C : |z - 3 + 2i| = \frac{n}{4} \}$ and $T_{n} = \{ z \in C : |z - 2 + 3i| = \frac{1}{n} \}$. Then the number of elements in the set ${ n \in N : S_{n} \cap T_{n} = \phi }$ is.

The locus of the centre of the circle which touches the circle ${x^2} + {(y - 1)^2} = 1$ externally and also touches the $x$-axis is

Two concentric circles are such that the smaller divides the larger into two regions of equal area. If the radius of the smaller circle is $2$,then the length of the tangent from any point $P$ on the larger circle to the smaller circle is:
