The area of triangle formed by the lines x - y = 0 , x + y = 0 and any tangent to the hyperbola x 2 - y 2 = 16 is equal to
Options
- A2 sq. units
- B4 sq. units
- C8 sq. units
- D16 sq. units
Correct answer
D. 16 sq. units
Step-by-step solution
Equation of the tangent to the hyperbola x 2 - y 2 = 16 in parametric form is 4 x sec ⁡ ϕ - 4 y tan ⁡ ϕ = 16 ⇒ x sec ⁡ ϕ - y tan ⁡ ϕ = 4 Solving with y = x and y = - x , we get, A 4 sec ⁡ ϕ + tan ⁡ ϕ , 4 sec ⁡ ϕ + tan ⁡ ϕ , B 4 sec ⁡ ϕ - tan ⁡ ϕ , 4 tan ⁡ ϕ - sec ⁡ ϕ ∴ Area bounded by ∆ A O B = 1 2 16 tan 2 ⁡ ϕ - sec 2 ⁡ ϕ - 16 sec 2 ⁡ b
