A hyperbola passes through the point $P(2,3)P\left(\sqrt{2}, \sqrt{3}\right) and hasfociat(±2,0).Thenthetangenttothishyperbolaathas foci at \left(\pm 2, 0\right). Then the tangent to this hyperbola atP$ also passes through the point

Options

  1. A(32,23)\left(3\sqrt{2}, 2\sqrt{3}\right)
  2. B(22,33)\left(2\sqrt{2}, 3\sqrt{3}\right)
  3. C(3,2)\left(\sqrt{3}, \sqrt{2}\right)
  4. D(−2,−3)\left(- \sqrt{2}, - \sqrt{3}\right)

Correct answer

B. (22,33)\left(2\sqrt{2}, 3\sqrt{3}\right)

Step-by-step solution

From the standard equation of hyperbola

⇒±ae=±2⇒ \pm ae = \pm 2

As we know, b2=a2(e2−1){b}^{2} = {a}^{2}\left({e}^{2} - 1\right).

⇒b2=4−a2⇒ {b}^{2} = 4 - {a}^{2}

∴∴Equation of hyperbola is x2a2−y24−a2=1\dfrac{{x}^{2}}{{a}^{2}} - \dfrac{{y}^{2}}{4 - {a}^{2}} = 1
