The equation of the tangent of the ellipse \(4 x^2+9 y^2=36\) at the end of the latusrectum lying in the second quadrant, is

  1. A \(\sqrt{5} x-3 y+1=0\)
  2. B \(x-3 y+\sqrt{5}=0\)
  3. C \(\sqrt{5} x-3 y+3=0\)
  4. D \(\sqrt{5} x-3 y+9=0\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\sqrt{5} x-3 y+9=0\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Equation of given ellipse is \[ 4 x^2+9 y^2=36 \Rightarrow \frac{x^2}{9}+\frac{y^2}{4}=1 \] Now, coordinate of end of the latus rectum lying in the second quadrant is \(P\left(-\sqrt{5}, \frac{4}{3}\right)\). So, the equation of tangent at point \(P\) is…
