Let P be a point on the hyperbola H:x29-y24=1, in the first quadrant such that the area of triangle formed by P and the two foci of H is 213. Then, the square of the distance of P from the origin is
  1. 18
  2. 26
  3. 22
  4. 20

Solution

Plotting the diagram of given data we get,

Given equation of hyperbola is x29-y24=1.

a2=9, b2=4

We know that, b2=a2e2-1

e2=1+b2a2

e2=1+49

e2=139

e=133

Now, S1S2=2ae

S1S2=2×3×133

S1S2=213

It is given that, area of ΔPS1S2 is 213.

12×β×S1S2=213

12×β×213=213

β=2

Since, α,β lies on the hyperbola,

α29-β24=1

α29-1=1

α2=18

α=32

Distance of P from origin is given by,

OP=α2+β2

OP=18+4

OP=22

OP2=22
