Let $x = 9$ be a directrix of an ellipse $E$, whose centre is at the origin and eccentricity is $1/3$. Let $P(\alpha, 0), \alpha > 0$, be a focus of $E$ and $AB$ be a chord passing through $P$. Then the locus of the mid point of $AB$ is :

Find the coordinates of the foci,the vertices,the length of the major axis,the minor axis,the eccentricity,and the length of the latus rectum of the ellipse $\frac{x^{2}}{100}+\frac{y^{2}}{400}=1$.

Let $P$ be a point on the ellipse $\frac{x^2}{9}+\frac{y^2}{4}=1$. Let the line passing through $P$ and parallel to the $y$-axis meet the circle $x^2+y^2=9$ at point $Q$ such that $P$ and $Q$ are on the same side of the $x$-axis. Then,the eccentricity of the locus of the point $R$ on $PQ$ such that $PR:RQ=4:3$ as $P$ moves on the ellipse,is:
