let P be (x0,y0),x2/a2 + y2/b2 =1,implicit diferentiation yields 2x/a2+2yy'/b2=0, y'=-(xb2)/(ya2)...equation(1),equation of normal=

(y-y0)/(x-x0)=-1/y', major axis is y=0,solve equation of normal and y=0 to get G. similarly find G1

perpendicular upon normal is given by (y/x)=y'...equation(2),solve (1) and (2) to find F
