Question

The locus of the mid-point of the chord of the circle x2 + y= 16, which are tangent to the hyperbola 9x2 – 16y= 144 is

Solution

Correct option is

(x2 + y2)= 16x2 – 9y2

 

9x2 – 16y= 144  ⇒ Equation of tangent to hyperbola is

                                            …… (1)

                         …… (2)

Let (x1y1) be mid-point of the chord of circle x2 + y= 16 equation of this is

                 x x1 + y y1  (x12 + y12) = 0                        …… (3)

so 

eliminate m to get locus of (x1y1) as

    (x2 + y2)= 16x2 – 9y2
