If θ\theta is the angle between the pair of tangents drawn to the ellipse 3x2+2y2=53{x}^{2} + 2{y}^{2} = 5 from the point (1,2),\left(1,2\right), then the value of tan⁡2θ\tan^{2}\theta is equal to

Correct answer

28.8

Step-by-step solution

The equation of the tangent to 3x2+2y2=53{x}^{2} + 2{y}^{2} = 5 in slope form is y=mx±53m2+52y = mx \pm \sqrt{\dfrac{5}{3}{m}^{2} + \dfrac{5}{2}}
