A tangent drawn to hyperbola `(x^(2))/(a^(2))-(y^(2))/(b^(2)) =1`at `P((pi)/(6))` forms a triangle of area `3a^(2)` square units, with coordinate axes, then the squae of its eccentricity is equal toA. 15B. 16C. 17D. 18 |

Answer» Correct Answer - C The point `P ((pi)/(6))` is `(asec.(pi)/(6),b tan.(pi)/(6))`, i.e., `P((2a)/(sqrt(3)),(b)/(sqrt(3)))` `:.` Equation of tangent at P is `(x)/((sqrt(3)a)/(2))-(y)/(sqrt(3)b) =1` `:.` Area of the triangle `=(1)/(2) xx (sqrt(3)a)/(2) xx sqrt(3) b = 3a^(2)` `:. (b)/(a) = 4` `:. e^(2) = 1 + (b^(2))/(a^(2)) = 17` |
