Mathematics Question on coordinates of a point in space
Let the equation of two diameters of a circle x2 + y2 – 2x + 2fy + 1 = 0 be 2px – y = 1 and 2x + py = 4p. Then the slope m ∈ (0, ∞) of the tangent to the hyperbola 3x2 – y2 = 3 passing through the center of the circle is equal to _______.
Answer
2p + f – 1 = 0 ........ (1)
2 – pf–4p = 0 ........ (2)
2 = p(f + 4)
p=f+42
2p = 1 – f
f+4f=1−f
f2 + 3f = 0
f = 0 or –3
Hyperbola 3x2−y2=3,3x2−y2=1
y=mx±m2−3
It passes (1, 0) o=m±m2−3 ,m tends ∞
It passes (1, 3)
3=m±m2−3 (3−m)2=m2−3
m = 2
