JEE Mains · Maths · STD 11 - 10.2 parabola,ellipse,hyperbola

Let the eccentricity of the hyperbola \(H : \frac{ x ^{2}}{ a ^{2}}-\frac{ y ^{2}}{ b ^{2}}=1\) be \(\sqrt{\frac{5}{2}}\) and length of its latus rectum be \(6 \sqrt{2}\), If \(y =2 x + c\) is a tangent to the hyperbola \(H\), then the value of \(c ^{2}\) is equal to

  1. A \(18\)
  2. B \(20\)
  3. C \(24\)
  4. D \(32\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(20\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(y = mx \pm \sqrt{ a ^{2} m ^{2}- b ^{2}}\) \(m =2, c ^{2}= a ^{2} m ^{2}- b ^{2}\) \(c ^{2}=4 a ^{2}- b ^{2}\) \(e ^{2}=1+\frac{ b ^{2}}{ a ^{2}}\) \(\frac{5}{2}=1+\frac{b^{2}}{a^{2}}\) \(\frac{3}{2}=\frac{b^{2}}{a^{2}} \Rightarrow b^{2}=\frac{3 a^{2}}{2}\)…
