Analytic lower-bound for minimal value of $\|x\|^2$ such that $\|Cx-b\|^2 \le c^2$ (a hyperellipsoid)

Let $C$ be an $n \times p$ matrix and $b$ be a column vector of length $n$, and $c>0$. Let $E := \{x \in \mathbb R^p \mid \|Cx-b\| \le c\}$, a hyperellipsoid in nonstandard position. Question 1. ...
