AP EAMCET · Maths · Hyperbola

A hyperbola passes through the point \(\mathrm{P}(\sqrt{2}, \sqrt{3})\) and has foci at \(( \pm 2,0)\). Then the point that lies on the tangent drawn to this hyperbola at P is

  1. A \((\sqrt{3}, \sqrt{2})\)
  2. B \((-\sqrt{2},-\sqrt{3})\)
  3. C \((2 \sqrt{2}, 3 \sqrt{3})\)
  4. D \((3 \sqrt{2}, 2 \sqrt{3})\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \((2 \sqrt{2}, 3 \sqrt{3})\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(c^2 = 2^2 = 4\) \(a^2 + b^2 = 4\) \(\frac{(\sqrt{2})^2}{a^2} - \frac{(\sqrt{3})^2}{b^2} = 1 \Rightarrow \frac{2}{a^2} - \frac{3}{b^2} = 1\) \(\frac{2}{a^2} - \frac{3}{4 - a^2} = 1 \Rightarrow 2(4 - a^2) - 3a^2 = a^2(4 - a^2)\)…
