Consider a hyperbola H : x2-2y2=4. Let the tangent at a point P(4,6) meet the x-axis at Q and latus rectum at Rx1,y1,x1>0. If F is a focus of H which is nearer to the point P, then the area of ΔQFR (in sq. units) is equal to
  1. 46
  2. 6-1
  3. 76-2
  4. 46-1

Solution

x24-y22=1

e=1+b2a2=32

Focus F(ae,0)F(6,0)

equation of tangent at P to the hyperbola is
2x-y6=2

tangent meet x-axis at Q(1,0)

& latus rectum x=6 at R6,266-1

Area of ΔQFR=126-1·266-1

=76-2 sq. units
