Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\frac{1}{2} \tan \frac{\theta}{2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(e = \frac{2}{\sqrt{7}-\sqrt{3}} \cdot \frac{\sqrt{7}+\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{7}+\sqrt{3}} = \frac{2(\sqrt{7}+\sqrt{3})}{7-3} = \frac{\sqrt{7}+\sqrt{3}}{2}\) For a hyperbola, \(\tan(\frac{\theta}{2}) = \frac{b^2}{a^2e}\) Since \(b^2 = a^2(e^2-1)\),…
