Mathematics Question on Tangents and Normals

Let m1 and m2 be the slopes of the tangents drawn from the point P(4,1) to the hyperbola H : y225x216\frac{y^2}{25} − \frac{x^2}{16 }= 1. If Q is the point from which the tangents drawn to H have slopes |m1| and |m2| and they make positive intercepts α and β on the x-axis, then (PQ)2αβ\frac{( P Q ) ^2}{ α β} α β is equal to _____.

Answer

The correct answer is: 8
