A circle lies in a circle such that their common center is the point . Fix a point inside . Let denote an arbitrary point on the circumference of , and let denote the second intersection point of and the line . Let denote the intersection of and the line segment . Let denote the point on the line segment for which . Let and denote the tangents of the circle at the points and , respectively. Let denote the line that passes through and either also passes through the intersection of and , or is parallel to both and . Finally, let denote the intersection of and the line . Show that the locus of the points , as is varied, is an ellipse, and the line is a tangent of this ellipse.
