A normal to the hyperbola x2a2−y2b2=1\dfrac{x^{2}}{a^{2}} - \dfrac{y^{2}}{b^{2}} = 1 meets the axis in AA and BB the line ALAL and BLBL are drawn at Right angle to the axis and meet at LL then locus of LL is -

Options

  1. Aa^{2}x^{2} - b^{2}y^{2} = {\left(a^{2} + b^{2}\right)}^{2}
  2. Bb2x2−a2y2=(a2+b2)2bb^{2}x^{2} - a^{2}y^{2} = {\left(a^{2} + b^{2}\right)}^{2}b
  3. C44\left(a^{2}x^{2} - b^{2}y^{2}\right) = {\left(a^{2} + b^{2}\right)}^{2}
  4. DNone of these

Correct answer

A. a^{2}x^{2} - b^{2}y^{2} = {\left(a^{2} + b^{2}\right)}^{2}

Step-by-step solution

Normal to the hyperbola is

axcosθ+bycotθ=a2+b2axcos \theta + bycot \theta = a^{2} + b^{2}

Putting y=0y = 0 and x=0x = 0

We get A \left(\dfrac{a^{2} + b^{2}}{a}sec θ,\theta,0\right), B\left(0,0,\dfrac{a^{2} + b^{2}}{b}tantan\theta\right)

line through AA , perpendicular to the xx -axis is x=x =\dfrac{a^{2} + b^{2}}{a}secsec\theta

line through BB , perpendicular to the yy -axis is y=y =\dfrac{a^{2} + b^{2}}{b}tantan\theta

So intersection of these point is LL

∵sec⁡2∵ \sec^{2}\theta - \tan^{2} \theta =11

⇒a2x2−b2y2=(a2+b2)2⇒ a^{2}x^{2} - b^{2}y^{2} = {\left(a^{2} + b^{2}\right)}^{2} .
