Answers:A. The area of the quadrilateral A1A2A3A4 is 35 square units · C. The tangents T1 and T2 meet the x-axis at the point (−3,0)
Let T₁ and T₂ be two distinct common tangents to the ellipse E:x²/6+y²/3=1 and the parabola P:y²=12x. Suppose that the tangent T₁ touches P and E at the points A₁ and A₂, respectively and the tangent T₂ touches P and E at the points A₄ and A₃, respectively. Then which of the following statements is(are) true?
