  • question_answer
    The equation of the normal at the point \[(a\sec \theta ,\ b\tan \theta )\] of the curve \[{{b}^{2}}{{x}^{2}}-{{a}^{2}}{{y}^{2}}={{a}^{2}}{{b}^{2}}\] is                                                                                  [Karnataka CET 1999]

    A)            \[\frac{ax}{\cos \theta }+\frac{by}{\sin \theta }={{a}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}\]    

    B)            \[\frac{ax}{\tan \theta }+\frac{by}{\sec \theta }={{a}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}\]

    C)            \[\frac{ax}{\sec \theta }+\frac{by}{\tan \theta }={{a}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}\]   

    D)            \[\frac{ax}{\sec \theta }+\frac{by}{\tan \theta }={{a}^{2}}-{{b}^{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

               Equation of normal to hyperbola \[\frac{{{x}^{2}}}{{{a}^{2}}}-\frac{{{y}^{2}}}{{{b}^{2}}}=1\] at \[(a\sec \theta ,b\tan \theta )\] is \[\frac{{{a}^{2}}x}{a\sec \theta }+\frac{{{b}^{2}}y}{b\tan \theta }={{a}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}\].
