A Troubling Problem!

Geometry Level 5

The locus of the foot of perpendicular drawn from the center of the ellipse x 2 + 3 y 2 = 6 { x }^{ 2 }+{ 3y }^{ 2 }=6 on any tangent to it is of the form ( x a + y b ) c = d x e + f y g { ({ x }^{ a }+{ y }^{ b }) }^{ c }=d{ x }^{ e }+f{ y }^{ g } , where a a , b b , c c , d d , e e , f f , and g g are positive integers which are not necessarily different.

Find the value of a + b + c + d + e + f + g a+b+c+d+e+f+g .


The answer is 18.
