  3. C \(y=\sqrt{3} x+\sqrt{2}\)
  4. D \(y=\sqrt{3} x-\sqrt{2}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(y=\sqrt{6} x+\sqrt{2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Equation of tangent in slope form of parabola \(y^{2}=8 \sqrt{3} x\) is \[ y=m x+c \] where, \(\quad c=\frac{a}{m}\) \(\therefore\) \(c=\frac{2 \sqrt{3}}{m}\) Also, tangent to the hyperbola \[ 4 x^{2}-y^{2}=4 \] or \(\frac{x^{2}}{1}-\frac{y^{2}}{4}=1\) is…
