If the perpendicular distance from the focus of an ellipse $\frac{x^2}{9} + \frac{y^2}{b^2} = 1$ $(b < 3)$ to its corresponding directrix is $\frac{4}{\sqrt{5}}$,then the slope of the tangent to this ellipse drawn at $\left(\frac{3}{\sqrt{2}}, \frac{b}{\sqrt{2}}\right)$ is

Let $C$ be the circle of minimum area enclosing the ellipse $E: \frac{x^2}{a^2}+\frac{y^2}{b^2}=1$ with eccentricity $e = \frac{1}{2}$ and foci $(\pm 2, 0)$. Let $PQR$ be a variable triangle,whose vertex $P$ is on the circle $C$ and the side $QR$ of length $2$ is parallel to the major axis of $E$ and contains the point of intersection of $E$ with the negative $y$-axis. Then the maximum area of the triangle $PQR$ is:
