From a point two tangents and are drawn to the hyperbola . If the product of the slopes of these tangents is then the locus of is a conic whose eccentricity is equal to
Options

- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
C.
Step-by-step solution
Let, be \left(h, k\right)Py = mx \pm \sqrt{a^{2}m^{2} - b^{2}}⇒ { \left(k^{2} - mh\right)}^{2} =\left(a^{2}m^{2} - b^{2}\right)
where roots are
1 = {m}_{1}{m}_{2}⇒x^{2} - y^{2} = a^{2} + b^{2}⇒= \sqrt{1 + 1} = \sqrt{2}
