Question

The locus of pole of any tangent to the circle x2 + y2 = 4 w.r.t. the hyperbola x2 – y= 4 is the circle

Solution

Correct option is

x2 + y2 = 4

 

Any tangent to circle x2 + y2 = 4 is xx’, + yy’ = 4

or                 …. (1)

polar of a point (x1y1) w.r.t. hyperbola x2 – y= 4 is

                xx1 – yy1 = 4                        …. (2)

by assumption (1) and (2) represent the same line.

Compare (1) & (2).

       

⇒ x12 + y1= 4        ∴ locus is x2 + y2 = 4.
