  • question_answer
    The equation of the normal at the point (6, 4) on the hyperbola \[\frac{{{x}^{2}}}{9}-\frac{{{y}^{2}}}{16}=3\], is

    A)            \[3x+8y=50\]                             

    B)            \[3x-8y=50\]

    C)            \[8x+3y=50\]                             

    D)            \[8x-3y=50\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                      Equation of normal at any point \[({{x}_{1}},{{y}_{1}})\] on hyperbola is,                   \[\frac{{{a}^{2}}(x-{{x}_{1}})}{{{x}_{1}}}=\frac{{{b}^{2}}(y-{{y}_{1}})}{-{{y}_{1}}}\]                   Here, \[{{a}^{2}}=267,\,{{b}^{2}}=48\] and \[({{x}_{1}},{{y}_{1}})=(6,4)\]                   \[\therefore \frac{27(x-6)}{6}=-\frac{48(y-4)}{4}\] Þ \[3(x-6)=-8(y-4)\]                    Þ \[3x+8y=50\].
