If the tangent drawn to the hyperbola 4y2=x2+14{y}^{2} = {x}^{2} + 1 intersect the co-ordinates axes at the distinct points AA and BB, then the locus of the midpoint of ABAB is :

Options

  1. Ax2−4y2+16x2y2=0{x}^{2} - 4{y}^{2} + 16{x}^{2}{y}^{2} = 0
  2. B4x2−y2+16x2y2=04{x}^{2} - {y}^{2} + 16{x}^{2}{y}^{2} = 0
  3. Cx2−4y2−16x2y2=0{x}^{2} - 4{y}^{2} - 16{x}^{2}{y}^{2} = 0
  4. D4x2−y2−16x2y2=04{x}^{2} - {y}^{2} - 16{x}^{2}{y}^{2} = 0

Correct answer

C. x2−4y2−16x2y2=0{x}^{2} - 4{y}^{2} - 16{x}^{2}{y}^{2} = 0

Step-by-step solution

Let tangent drawn at point (x1,y1)\left({x}_{1}, {y}_{1}\right) to the hyperbola

4y2=x2+14{y}^{2} = {x}^{2} + 1 is 4yy1=xx1+14y{y}_{1} = x{x}_{1} + 1.

This tangent intersect coordinate axes at AandA andBrespectively,thenrespectively, thenA\left(- \dfrac{1}{{x}_{1}}, 0\right) \text{ and } B\left(0, \dfrac{1}{4{y}_{1}}\right).</p><p>Letmidpointis.</p><p>Let mid point isM\left(h, k\right).</p><p>.</p><p>2h = - \dfrac{1}{{x}_{1}} ⇒ {x}_{1} = - \dfrac{1}{2h} . . . \left(1\right)</p><p></p><p>2k = \dfrac{1}{{4y}_{1}} ⇒ {y}_{1} = \dfrac{1}{8k} . . . \left(2\right)</p><p>Since,point(x1,y1)</p><p>Since, point \left({x}_{1}, {y}_{1}\right), lies on the hyperbola.

So, 4y12=x12+14{{y}_{1}}^{2} = {{x}_{1}}^{2} + 1

From equations \left(1\right)and(2)and \left(2\right), we get

4(18k)2=(−12h)2+1⇒116k2=14h2+14{\left(\dfrac{1}{8k}\right)}^{2} = {\left(- \dfrac{1}{2h}\right)}^{2} + 1 ⇒ \dfrac{1}{16{k}^{2}} = \dfrac{1}{4{h}^{2}} + 1

⇒4h2=16k2(1+4h2)⇒ 4{h}^{2} = 16{k}^{2}\left(1 + 4{h}^{2}\right)

⇒x2=4y2+16x2y2⇒ {x}^{2} = 4{y}^{2} + 16{x}^{2}{y}^{2}

⇒x2−4y2−16x2y2=0⇒⇒ {x}^{2} - 4{y}^{2} - 16{x}^{2}{y}^{2} = 0 ⇒ Locus of MM.
