If a tangent to the hyperbola $x^2 - \frac{y^2}{3} = 1$ is also a tangent to the parabola $y^2 = 8x$,then the equation of such a tangent with a positive slope is:

  • A
    $y - x - \frac{1}{2} = 0$
  • B
    $y - 2x - 1 = 0$
  • C
    $2y - 4x - 1 = 0$
  • D
    $y - x - 1 = 0$

Let $a, b$ and $\lambda$ be positive real numbers. Suppose $P$ is an end point of the latus rectum of the parabola $y^2 = 4 \lambda x$,and suppose the ellipse $\frac{x^2}{a^2} + \frac{y^2}{b^2} = 1$ passes through the point $P$. If the tangents to the parabola and the ellipse at the point $P$ are perpendicular to each other,then the eccentricity of the ellipse is

$A$ line perpendicular to the $X$-axis cuts the circle $x^2+y^2=9$ at $A$ and the ellipse $4x^2+9y^2=36$ at $B$ such that $A$ and $B$ lie in the same quadrant. If $\theta$ is the greatest acute angle between the tangents drawn to the curves at $A$ and $B$,then $\tan \theta=$
