Problem

Tangents are drawn from the point P(3,4)P(3,4) to the ellipse x29+y24=1\frac{x^2}{9}+\frac{y^2}{4}=1, touching the ellipse at points AA and BB. The orthocenter of triangle PABPAB is: (1) (5,87)\left(5,\frac{8}{7}\right) (2) (75,258)\left(\frac{7}{5},\frac{25}{8}\right) (3) (115,85)\left(\frac{11}{5},\frac{8}{5}\right) (4) (825,75)\left(\frac{8}{25},\frac{7}{5}\right)
