Ellipse tangent/normal equation derivation

9. The ellipse \(E\) has equation $$\frac { x ^ { 2 } } { 25 } + \frac { y ^ { 2 } } { 16 } = 1$$ The point \(P\) lies on the ellipse and has coordinates \(( 5 \cos \theta , 4 \sin \theta )\) where \(0 < \theta < \frac { \pi } { 2 }\) The line \(l\) is the normal to the ellipse at the point \(P\).

1. Show that an equation for \(l\) is $$5 x \sin \theta - 4 y \cos \theta = 9 \sin \theta \cos \theta$$ The point \(F\) is the focus of \(E\) that lies on the positive \(x\)-axis.
2. Determine the coordinates of \(F\). The line \(l\) crosses the \(x\)-axis at the point \(Q\).
3. Show that $$\frac { | Q F | } { | P F | } = e$$ where \(e\) is the eccentricity of \(E\).
