Let P x 0 , y 0 be the point on the hyperbola 3 x 2 - 4 y 2 = 36 , which is nearest to the line 3 x + 2 y =…

Let Px0,y0 be the point on the hyperbola 3x2-4y2=36, which is nearest to the line 3x+2y=1. Then 2y0-x0 is equal to :
  1. -3
  2. 9
  3. -9
  4. 3

Solution

Given,

Equation of hyperbola, 3x2-4y2=36

And nearest line 3x+2y=1

Now slope of the given line will be, m=-32

Now slope of tangent which will be parallel to given line of hyperbola 3x2-4y2=36 is given by,

m=3secθ12·tanθ

Now putting the value of m=-32 we get,

312×1sinθ=-32

sinθ=-13

So, point will be 12secθ,3tanθ

=12·32,-3×12

=62,-32,

Hence, 2y0-x0=2-32-62=-9
