Chapter 10, Problem 97(choose chapter or problem)
For a point P on an ellipse, let \(d\) be the distance from the center of the ellipse to the line tangent to the ellipse at P. Prove that \(\left(P F_{1}\right)\left(P F_{2}\right) d^{2}\) is constant as P varies on the ellipse, where \(P F_{1}\) and \(P F_{2}\) are the distances from P to the foci \(F_{1}\) and \(F_{2}\) of the ellipse.
