If the tangent drawn to the hyperbola 4 y ^ 2 = x ^ 2 + 1 intersect...
If the tangent drawn to the hyperbola intersect the co-ordinates axes at the distinct points and , then the locus of the midpoint of is :
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
C.
Step-by-step solution
Let tangent drawn at point to the hyperbola
is .
This tangent intersect coordinate axes at BA\left(- \dfrac{1}{{x}_{1}}, 0\right) \text{ and } B\left(0, \dfrac{1}{4{y}_{1}}\right)M\left(h, k\right)2h = - \dfrac{1}{{x}_{1}} ⇒ {x}_{1} = - \dfrac{1}{2h} . . . \left(1\right)2k = \dfrac{1}{{4y}_{1}} ⇒ {y}_{1} = \dfrac{1}{8k} . . . \left(2\right), lies on the hyperbola.
So,
From equations \left(1\right), we get
Locus of .
