If the normal to the ellipse 3x ^ 2 + 4 y ^ 2 = 12 at a point P on...
If the normal to the ellipse at a point on it is parallel to the line, and the tangent to the ellipse at passes through then is equal to:
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
B.
Step-by-step solution
Given the equation of an ellipse is ,where
As we know equation of normal to the ellipse can be taken as
for the given ellipse.
Now, this normal is parallel to .
Hence point
Tangent at \left(- 1, \dfrac{3}{2}\right)\dfrac{x . \left(- 1\right)}{4} + \dfrac{y . \dfrac{3}{2}}{3} = 1⇒ - x + 2y = 4Q\left(4, 4\right)⇒ PQ = \sqrt{{\left(4 \pm 1\right)}^{2} + {\left(4 ∓ \dfrac{3}{2}\right)}^{2}} = \dfrac{5\sqrt{5}}{2} .
