An Incircle Tangent Angle Doubling

Problem

The hyperbola C:x2a2y2b2=1C:\dfrac{x^2}{a^2}-\dfrac{y^2}{b^2}=1 (a,b>0a,b>0) has eccentricity 22 and left and right foci F1F_1, F2F_2. A line ll through F2F_2 meets the right branch of CC at points MM and NN; when MNxMN\perp x-axis, MN=6|MN|=6.

1. Find the standard equation of CC. 2. Find the minimum value of MF2NF2|MF_2|\cdot|NF_2|. 3. Let QQ be a common point of the incircle PP of F1MN\triangle F_1MN and the hyperbola CC, and let AA be the left vertex of CC. Prove that APQ=2F2PQ\angle APQ=2\angle F_2PQ.
