The eccentricity of the conjugate hyperbola of \dfrac{x^{2}}{a^{2}} - \dfrac{y^{2}}{b^{2}} =1isis

Options

  1. A17\sqrt{17}
  2. B174\dfrac{\sqrt{17}}{4}
  3. C172\dfrac{\sqrt{17}}{2}
  4. D817\dfrac{8}{\sqrt{17}}

Correct answer

B. 174\dfrac{\sqrt{17}}{4}

Step-by-step solution

P=(2a3,b3)P = \left(\dfrac{2a}{\sqrt{3}}, \dfrac{b}{\sqrt{3}}\right)
Equation of the tangent at PP is 2x3a−y3b=1\dfrac{2x}{\sqrt{3}a} - \dfrac{y}{\sqrt{3}b} = 1
xx intercept & yy intercept of the tangent are 3a2\dfrac{\sqrt{3}a}{2} & −3b- \sqrt{3}b respectively
Area of the triangle formed by the tangent with the coordinate axes is
12×3a2×3b=3a2\dfrac{1}{2} \times \dfrac{\sqrt{3}a}{2} \times \sqrt{3}b = 3{a}^{2}
⇒ba=4⇒ab=14⇒ \dfrac{b}{a} = 4 ⇒ \dfrac{a}{b} = \dfrac{1}{4}
The eccentricity of the conjugate hyperbola equals to
1+116=174\sqrt{1 + \dfrac{1}{16}} = \dfrac{\sqrt{17}}{4}
