Let P(a cos θ, b sin θ), where θ is not a multiple of π/2, be a point on the ellipse C: x^2/a^2 + y^2/b^2 = 1, where a > 0; and P' (a cos θ, a sin θ) the corresponding point on the "auxiliary circle" C': x^2 + y^2 = a^2. Prove that the tangents at P to C and at P' to C' meet on the x-axis. Hint: Write down an affine transformation that maps C to C' and P to P', and that maps each point on the x-axis to itself.

Find parametric equation of an ellipse centered at the origin with major axis of length 8 on the x-axis and minor axis of length 4 on the y-axis, generated counterclockwise on the interval [0,4π], starting at the point (2,0). Find the slope of the tangent to the ellipse when t = 3π/2.
