If the tangents drawn to the hyperbola 1 intersect the co-ordinate axes at the distinct points and , then the locus of the mid point of is
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
D.
Step-by-step solution
Equation of hyperbola is :
Now, tangent to the curve at point \left(x_1, y_1\right) is
As tangent passes through Therefore, $y=\frac{x_1}{4 y_1} x+\frac{1}{4 y_1}$
\Rightarrow 4 y_1 y=x_1 x+1
which intersects $ x$ axis at $A $\left(\frac{-1}{x_1},0\right)$ and $y$ axis at $B \left(0, \frac{1}{4 y_1}\right)$ Let midpoint of $A B$ is $(h, k)\begin{aligned}&\therefore h=\frac{-1}{2 x_1}\\
&\Rightarrow x_1=\frac{-1}{2 h}& y_1=\frac{1}{8 k}
\end{aligned}$Thus, 4\left(\frac{1}{8 k}\r right)^2=\left(\frac{-1}{2 h}\right)^2+1\begin{aligned}&\Rightarrow \frac{1}{16 k²}=\frac{1}{4 h²}+1 \\
&\Rightarrow 1=\frac{16 k²}{4 h²}+16 k² \quad \Rightarrow h²=4 k²+16 h² k .
\end{aligned}$$
So, required equation is
x²-4 y²-16 x² y²=0
