Tangents are drawn to the hyperbola , parallel to the straight line . The points of contact of the tangents on the hyperbola are
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
A.
Step-by-step solution
If slope of tangents to hyperbola is ,
then equations of tangent to the hyperbola is
with the points of contact
Tangent to hyperbola is parallel to ,
Slope of tangent Points of contact are \left(\frac{\pm 9 \times 2}{\sqrt{9 \times 4-4}}, \frac{\pm 4}{\sqrt{9 \times 4-4}}\right)\left(\frac{9}{2 \sqrt{2}}, \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\right)
