The equation of the chord joining `(a sec theta, b tan theta)` and `(a sec phi, b tan phi)` is
`(x)/(a)cos((theta-phi)/(2))-(y)/(b)sin((theta+phi)/(2))=cos((theta+phi)/(2))`
This passes through (ae, 0). Therefore,
`ecos((theta-phi)/(2))=cos((theta+phi)/(2))`
`"or "e=(cos((theta+phi)/(2)))/(cos((theta-phi)/(2)))`
`"or "(e-1)/(e+1)=(cos((theta+phi)/(2))-cos((theta-phi)/(2)))/(cos((theta+phi)/(2))+cos((theta+phi)/(2)))`
`"or "(e-1)/(e+1)=-tan.(theta)/(2)tan.(phi)/(2)`
`"or "tan.(theta)/(2)tan.(phi)/(2)=(1-e)/(1+e)`
