Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\pm \frac{13}{\sqrt{5}}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

We know that equation of normal of the hyperbola \(\frac{x^2}{a^2}-\frac{y^2}{b^2}=1\) is \[ \frac{a^2 x}{x_1}+\frac{b^2 y}{y_1}=a^2-b^2 \] \(\therefore\) Equations of normal to the hyperbola \(\frac{x^2}{9}-\frac{y^2}{4}=1\) is…
