if u r asking 4 the maximum length then
a+5=3
a=-2
check ur question again or the sorce if u have any doubts but the produre to be followed id this

lonely it is the max distance from the centre to the tangent
check it out...............

use normal form of the equation xasec - bcosec y = a2-b2
use distance from origin and maximise it
u will get ur results
