Question

From any point on the hyperbola  tangents are drawn to the hyperbola . The area cut-off by the chord of contact on the asymptotes is equal to

Solution

Correct option is

4ab

 

Let P(x1y1) be a point on the hyperbola

           

The chord of contact of tangents from P to the hyperbola

  is 

         

The equations of the asymptotes are  

       

The points of intersection of (i) with the two asymptotes are given by 

           

         

∴ Area of the triangle
