For Ellipse E: (x²)/(144) + (y²)/(169) = 1$E: \frac{x^2}{144} + \frac{y^2}{169} = 1$ a² = 144, b² = 169$a^2 = 144, b^2 = 169$. Since b > a$b > a$, the major axis is along the y-axis.

Intersection of circle with x-axis provides A(2,0)$A(2,0)$ and B(-2,0)$B(-2,0)$. Let the point of intersection of AQ$AQ$ and BP$BP$ be R(h, k)$R(h, k)$. Since R$R$ lies on BP$BP$, the slope mBR = mBP$m_{BR} = m_{BP}$:

We are given α - β = (π)/(2) ⇒ (α)/(2) - (β)/(2) = (π)/(4)$\alpha - \beta = \frac{\pi}{2} \Rightarrow \frac{\alpha}{2} - \frac{\beta}{2} = \frac{\pi}{4}$. Applying the (A-B)$\tan(A-B)$ formula:

Substitute the slope relations: (α)/(2) = (k)/(h+2)$\tan\frac{\alpha}{2} = \frac{k}{h+2}$ (β)/(2) = -(h-2)/(k)$\tan\frac{\beta}{2} = -\frac{h-2}{k}$ (since - (β)/(2) = (k)/(h-2)$-\cot\frac{\beta}{2} = \frac{k}{h-2}$)

1 = ((k)/(h+2) + (h-2)/(k))/(1 + ((k)/(h+2))((2-h)/(k)))$1 = \frac{\frac{k}{h+2} + \frac{h-2}{k}}{1 + \left(\frac{k}{h+2}\right)\left(\frac{2-h}{k}\right)}$ 1 = k² + h² - 4(k(h+2))/(k) · (k(h+2) - k(2-h))/(k(h+2)) wait, clear denominator$1 = \frac{k^2 + h^2 - 4}{\frac{k(h+2)}{k} \cdot \frac{k(h+2) - k(2-h)}{k(h+2)} \dots \text{ wait, clear denominator}}$ 1 = (k² + h² - 4)/(k(h+2) + k(2-h)) × k(h+2)$1 = \frac{k^2 + h^2 - 4}{k(h+2) + k(2-h)} \times k(h+2) \dots$ The denominator simplifies to:

Numerator is (k² + h² - 4)/(k(h+2))$\frac{k^2 + h^2 - 4}{k(h+2)}$. So the expression simplifies to:
