If these tangents cut the

Options

  1. Ax2−y2=∣a2−b2∣x^{2} - y^{2} = \left|a^{2} - b^{2}\right|
  2. Bx2−y2=a2+b2x^{2} - y^{2} = a^{2} + b^{2}
  3. Cx2+y2=∣a2−b2∣x^{2} + y^{2} = \left|a^{2} - b^{2}\right|
  4. Dx2+y2=a2+b2x^{2} + y^{2} = a^{2} + b^{2}

Correct answer

B. x2−y2=a2+b2x^{2} - y^{2} = a^{2} + b^{2}

Step-by-step solution

From a point P, two tangents PA and PB are drawn to the hyperbola x^ 2 a^ 2 - y^ 2 b^ 2 = 1 . If these tangents cut the
Let the equation of tangents are
y=m1x+C1,y = {m}_{1}x + {C}_{1}, and
y=m2x+C2y = {m}_{2}x + {C}_{2}
which cuts the coordinate axes at E,F,G,HE, F, G, H as shown in the figure
Now, OE×OG=OF×OHOE \times OG = OF \times OH
⇒⇒\left(\dfrac{- {C}_{1}}{{m}_{1}}\right) \times (+C2m2)=(C1)(−C2)⇒m1m2=1\left(\dfrac{+ {C}_{2}}{{m}_{2}}\right) = \left({C}_{1}\right)\left(- {C}_{2}\right)⇒ {m}_{1}{m}_{2} = 1
