TS EAMCET · Maths · Hyperbola

The line \(2 x+y=1\) is a tangent to the hyperbola \(\frac{x^2}{a^2}-\frac{y^2}{b^2}=1(a>b)\). If this line passes through the point of intersection of a directrix and the positive \(X\)-axis, then the eccentricity of that hyperbola is

  1. A \(\sqrt{2}\)
  2. B 2
  3. C \(\sqrt{3}\)
  4. D 3
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 2

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The line \(2 x+y-1=0\) is a tangent to the hyperbola \(\frac{x^2}{a^2}-\frac{y^2}{b^2}=1\) and also passes through the point of intersection of directrix and the positive \(x\)-axis Equation of direction \(x=\frac{a}{e}\) \(\therefore\) Point \(\left(\frac{a}{e}, 0\right)\)…
