Locus of the point of intersection of two perpendicular tangents to the hyperbola x2a2\frac{x^{2}}{a^{2}}y2b2\frac{y^{2}}{b^{2}}= 1 is-

A

x2 + y2 = a2 –b2

B

x2 + y2 = a2 + b2

C

x2 –y2 = a2 – b2

D

x2 – y2 = a2 + b2

Answer

x2 + y2 = a2 –b2

Explanation

Solution

x2a2\frac{x^{2}}{a^{2}}y2b2\frac{y^{2}}{b^{2}}= 1

Locus of the point of intersection of two ^ tangent is director circle.

equation of director circle x2 + y2 = a2 – b2
