[...] The former of these gives the minimum value of the area and the latter the maximum value. [...] Therefore the equation of the tangent at the point (xi yi) of the ellipse is ?MI a2 62 The parts cut off from the axes of the ellipse by the tangent are obtained from the equation of the tangent by making y and x respectively equal to zero.
