can someone lend me a hand with this, any help is much appreciated. I completed part i.

can give you a little inspiration?
ahh thanks man I will give it a watch
I just don't get how to compute the angles
i will reward who gets the right answer
Dont be a pussy OP. Instead of turning this bullshit in, turn in a paper on mein kampf
the convener is jewish lol, not the best idea
So much for Nazi scientists.
i and ii are straightforward, but I don't get what iii is asking.
how do u do ii
what vectors do u use
but I don't understand iii either
Outline:
Let w = SP = P - S = (x1 + ae, y1).
cos 𝜃 = (w . n) / (|w||n|)
Simplify this expression using the equation of the ellipse.
I think it means that from one of thee foci points, what distance can it travel to equal 4a. Like a right angle triangle or some shit with hyp = 4a
Not Your Personal Abacus
But when I square the w part for ((x1 + ae)^2+(y1)^2)^(1/2) i can never simplify it
did u take n as (b^2x1,a^21)
also how do you simplify this expression using the equation of the ellipse
Wait how
well thanks for the help anyway
n = ( (b^2 x,a^2 y)
Yeah, I said straightforward, but that might not be a fair way to characterize it. You have to be clever with how you simplify.
my best advice is to start with the equation you want to show to be true, namely
|w| . n = |w| a b^2,
square both sides and cancel terms until you arrive at a known equality. [You will need to substitute x for an expression of y (or y for an expression of x) using the equation for the ellipse at some point.]
Then you can work backwards from this known equality to show the desired equation holds.
ohh cheers bro have u got any advice about part iii
I have gotten to this point so far, how would I progress
sorry, i still don't even understand what iii is asking.
Ahh no problem dude thanks
Actually I think I’ve fucked this
Thanks for the help again tho guys
This has been a tough question
how do i go from here man
This is the end
