The line 2x + y = 3 cuts the ellipse 4 x ^ 2 + y ^ 2 = 5 at points...
The line cuts the ellipse at points and . If is the acute angle between the normals at and , then is equal to
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
B.
Step-by-step solution
Solving and we get the intersection points $ and
The equations of the tangents at these points are and
The slopes of the tangents at are respectively
The slopes of the normals at are respectively
$⇒ cos \theta = \dfrac{5}{\sqrt{34}}, sin \theta = \dfrac{3}{\sqrt{34}} ⇒ \theta = \sin^{- 1} \dfrac{3}{\sqrt{34}}
