    Equation of tangent to the hyperbola \[2{{x}^{2}}-3{{y}^{2}}=6\]which is parallel to the line \[y=3x+4,\]is

    A)  \[y=3x-4\]       

    B)  \[y=3x-5\]

    C)  \[y=3x+5\]       

    D)  \[y=3x\pm 5\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

     Given hyperbola is \[2{{x}^{2}}-3{{y}^{2}}=6\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[\frac{{{x}^{2}}}{3}-\frac{{{y}^{2}}}{2}=1\] Here, \[{{a}^{2}}=3,\text{ }{{b}^{2}}=2\] Since, tangent is parallel to \[y=3x+4\] \[\therefore \] Here, \[m=3\] Thus, tangent of hyperbola is \[y=mx\ne \sqrt{{{a}^{2}}{{m}^{2}}-{{b}^{2}}}\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[y=3x\pm \sqrt{3.9-2}\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[y=3x\pm 5\]
