If a tangent to the hyperbola \(x^2-\frac{y^2}{3}=1\) is also a tangent to the parabola \(y^2=8 x\). then equation of such tangent with the positive slope is

  1. A \(y-x-\frac{1}{2}=0\)
  2. B \(y-2 x-1=0\)
  3. C \(2 y-4 x-1=0\)
  4. D \(y-x-1=0\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(y-2 x-1=0\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Eq. of tangent to \(y^2=8 x\) is \(y=m x+\frac{2}{m}\) Eq. of tangent to \(x^2-\frac{y^2}{3}=1\) is \(y=m x \pm \sqrt{m^2-3}\) On comparing we get \(m= \pm 2\) \(\Rightarrow\) tangent with + ve slope is \(y-2 x-1=0\)
