Step-by-step solution

Equation of hyperbola is : 4y2=x2+1⇒−x2+4y2=1⇒−x212+y2(12)2=1∴a=1,b=12\begin{aligned}& 4 y²=x²+1 \Rightarrow-x²+4 y²=1 \\ \Rightarrow &-\frac{x^2}{1^2}+\frac{y^2}{\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^2}=1 \\ \therefore & a=1, b=\frac{1}{2} \end{aligned} Now, tangent to the curve at point \left(x_1, y_1\right)isgivenby.is given by.4×2y1dydx=2x1⇒dydx=2x18y1=x14y1\begin{aligned}&4 \times2 y_1 \frac{d y}{d x}=2 x_1 \\ &\Rightarrow \frac{d y}{d x}=\frac{2 x_1}{8 y_1}=\frac{x_1}{4 y_1} \end{aligned}Equationoftangentat(x1,y1)Equation of tangent at \left(x_1, y_1\right) is y=mx+c⇒y=x14y1⋅x+c\begin{aligned}&y=m x+c \\ &\Rightarrow y=\frac{x_1}{4 y_1} \cdot x+c \end{aligned}As tangent passes through x1,y1x_1, y_1∴y1=x1x14y1+c⇒C=4y12−x124y1=14y1\begin{aligned}&\therefore y_1=\frac{x_1 x_1}{4 y_1}+ c \\ &\Rightarrow C=\frac{4 y_1^2-x_1^2}{4 y_1}=\frac{1}{4 y_1} \end{aligned}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
