Hyperbola Class 11 OP Malhotra Exe-25B ISC Maths Ch-25 Solutions.
Que-1: Find the tangent to the parabola y2 = 16x, making an angle of 45° with the x-axis.
Sol: The eqn. of tangent to parabola be
y = mx + am …(1)
Here m = tan 45° = 1
On comparing y² = 16x with y² = 4ax ;
we have, 16 = 4a
⇒ a = 4
Thus eqn. (1) reduces to ; y = x + 4
which is the required eqn. of tangent to given parabola.
Que-2: A tangent to the parabola y2 = 16x makes an angle of 60° with the x-axis. Find its point of contact.
Sol: We know that, the line y = mx + c may touch the parabola y2 =4ax then the point of contact be given by (a/m², 2a/m),
On comparing y² = 16x with y² = 4ax
we have, 16 = 4a ⇒ a = 4
and m = tan 60° = √3
∴ required point of contact be (4/3, (2×4)/√3) i.e. (4/√3, 8/√3)
Que-3: (i) Find the equations of the tangents to the parabola y2 = 6x which pass through the point (3/2, 5)
(ii) Find the equations of the tangents to the parabola y2 + 12x = 0 from the point (3, 8).
Sol: (i) On comparing y² = 6x with y² = 4ax; we have
4a = 6 ⇒ a = 3/2
We know that, eqn. of any tangent to parabola y² = 4ax be given by
y = mx + (a/m) …(1)
Thus required eqn. of tangent to parabola y² = 6x be given by
y = mx + (3/2m) …(2)
Now eqn. (2) passes through the point (32,5).
5 = (3/2) m + (3/2m)
⇒ 10m = 3m2 + 3
⇒ 3m2 – 10m + 3 = 0
⇒ (m – 3) (3m – 1) = 0
⇒ m = 3, 1/3
putting the values of m in eqn. (2); we have
y = 3x + {3/(2×3)}
⇒ y = 3x + (1/2)
⇒ 2y = 6x + 1 …(3)
and y = (1/3x) + {(3×3)/(2×1)}
⇒ y = (x/3) + (9/2)
⇒ 6y = 2x + 27 …(4)
Thus eqn. (3) and eqn. (4) are the required eqns. of tangents to given parabola.
(ii) Given eqn. of parabola be
y² = -12x …(1)
On comparing eqn. (1) with y2 = 4ax
we have, 4a = – 12 ⇒ a = – 3
We know that, eqn. of any tangent to parabola y² = 4ax be given by
y = mx + (a/m)
Thus eqn. of any tangent to given parabola (1) be given by
y = mx – (3/m)
Now eqn. (2) passes through the point (3, 8).
8 = 3m – (3/m) ⇒ 3m² – 8m – 3 = 0
⇒ m = {8±√(64+36)}/6 = (8±10)/6 = 3, 1/3
putting m = 3 in eqn. (2) ; we have
y = 3x – 1 …(3)
putting m = –1/3 in eqn. (2) ; we have
y = –1/3 + 9 ⇒ 3y = -x + 27 …(4)
Thus, eqn. (3) and eqn. (4) gives the required tangents to given parabola.
Que-4: Show that the line 12y – 20x – 9 = 0 touches the parabola y2 = 5x.
Sol: Given eqn. of parabola be
y² = 5x …(1)
On comparing eqn. (1) with y² = 4ax ; we have
4a = 5
⇒ a = 5/4
Given eqn. of line can be written as ;
y = (20x/12) + (9/12)
⇒ y = (5x/3) + (3/4) …(2)
Comparing eqn. (2) with y = mx + c
we have, m = 5/3 and c = 3/4
Here, am = {(5/4)/(5/3)} = 3/4 = c
Thus line (2) touches the parabola (1).
Que-5: Show that the line x + y = 1 touches the parabola y = x – x2.
Sol: Given eqn. of line be
x + y = 1 …(1)
and eqn. of parabola be y = x – x2 …(2)
From (1); y = 1 – x, putting in eqn. (2); we have
1 – x = x – x2
⇒ x2 – 2x + 1 = 0
⇒ (x – 1)2 = 0 …(3)
i.e. eqn. (3) have equal roots.
Thus eqn. (1) touches eqn. (2).
Que-6: Show that the line x + ny + an2 = 0 touches the parabola y2 = 4ax and find the point of contact.
Sol: Given eqn. of line be
x + ny + an2 = 0 …(1)
y2 = 4ax …(2)
From (1); y = (−x−an²)/n
putting the value of y in eqn. (2) ; we have
[(−x−an²)/n]² = 4ax
which is quadratic in x and have equal roots. Thus line (1) touches parabola (2).
∴ from (3); x = an2
from (1); ny + 2an2 = 0 ⇒ y = – 2an
Hence the required point of contact be (an2, – 2an).
Que-7: Find the tangents to the ellipse x2 + 9y2 = 3, which are (i) parallel (ii) perpendicular to the line 3x + 4y = 9.
Sol: (i) Given eqn. of ellipse be
x² + 9y² = 3 ⇒ (x²/3) + {y²/(1/3)} = 1 …(1)
which is a horizontal ellipse.
On comparing eqn. (1) with (x²/a²) + (y²/b²) = 1
we have a² = 3 and b² = 1/3
eqn. of given line be
3x + 4y – 9 = 0 …(2)
∴ slope of line (2) = –3/4
∴ slope of line || to line (2) = –3/4 = m
The eqns. of tangents to ellipse (1) be

(ii) slope of line ⊥ to line (2)
= {−1/(−3/4)} = 4/3 = m
∴ required eqns. of tangents to ellipse (1) be given by

Que-8: Find the equations of the tangents to the ellipse (x²/2) + (y²/7) = 1 that make an angle of 45° with the x-axis.
Sol: Given eqn. of ellipse be
(x²/2) + (y²/7) = 1 …(1)
which is a vertical ellipse.
On comparing eqn. (1) with
(x²/b²) + (y²/a²) = 1, a > b > o
We have a² = 7 ; b² = 2
Here m = tan 45° = 1
The eqns. of tangents to given ellipse (1) be given by
y = mx ± √{b²m²+a²}
⇒ y = x ± √(2+7)
⇒ y = x ± 3
Que-9: Find the equation of the tangents to the ellipse (x²/16) + (y²/9) = 1, which make equal intercepts on the axes.
Sol: Given eqn. of ellipse be,
(x²/16) + (y²/9) = 1 …(1)
which is a horizontal ellipse.
On comparing eqn. (1) with (x²/a²) + (y²/b²) = 1
where a > b > 0
we have a² = 16 and b² = 9
Since tangents makes equal intercepts on axes
∴ slope of tangents = m = ± 1
Thus required eqns. of tangents to eqn. (1) be given by
y = mx ± √{a²m²+b²}
y = ± x ± √{16(1)²+9}
y = ± x ± 5
Que-10: Find the value of ‘c’ so that 2x -y + c = 0 may touch the ellipse x2 + 2y2 = 2.
Sol: Given eqn. of line be 2x -y + c = 0
⇒ y = 2x + c …(1)
and eqn. of given ellipse be x² + 2y² = 2
⇒ (x²/2) + (y²/1) = 1 …(2)
We know that the line y = mx + c touches the ellipse (x²/a²) + (y²/b²) = 1
if c = ± √(a²m²+b²)
if c = ± √(2×2²+1)
⇒ c = ± 3
[Here m = 2 ; a² = 2 ; b² = 1]
Que-11: Show that the line lx + my = 1 will touch the ellipse (x²/a²) + (y²/b²) = 1 if a²l² + b²m² = 1.
Sol: eqn. of given line be
lx + my = 1 …(1)
and eqn. of ellipse be (x²/a²) + (y²/b²) = 1 … (2)
From (1) ; y = (1−lx)/m
putting the value of y in eqn. (2); we have
(x²/a²) + (1/b²) [(1−lx)/m]² = 1
⇒ m2b2x2 + a2 (1 – lx)2 = a2b2m2
⇒ x2 [m2b2 + a2l2] – 2a2lx + a2 – a2b2m2 = 0 …(3)
Now eqn. (1) touches eqn. (2)
if roots of quadratic eqn. (3) are equal
if Discriminant = 0
if (- 2a2l)2 – 4 (b2m2 + a2l2) (a2 – a2b2m2) = 0
if 4a4l2 – 4a2b2m2 + 4a2b4m4 – 4a4l2 + 4a4b2l2m2 = 0
if 4a2b2m2 (b2m2 + a2l2 – 1) = 0
if b2m2 + a2l2 = 1 which is the required condition.
Que-12: Show that the following lines are tangents to the given hyperbola and determine the points of contact.
(i) x + 1 = 0, 4x2 – 3y2 = 4
(ii) x – 2y + 1 = 0, x2 – 6y2 = 3
Sol: Given eqn. of line be x + 1 = 0 ⇒ x = – 1 …(1)
and eqn. of given hyperbola be 4x² – 3y² = 4 i.e. (x²/1) – {y²/(4/3)} = 1
putting eqn. (1) in eqn. (2) ; we have
4 – 3x2 = 4 ⇒ y2 = 0 which is quadratic in y and gives equal roots and each root be 0.
Thus line (1) touches hyperbola (2).
Putting y = 0 in eqn. (1); x = – 1
Hence the required point of contact be (- 1, 0)
(ii) Given eqn. of line be x- 2y + 1 = 0 …(1)
and eqn. of hyperbola be x2 – 6y2 = 3 …(2)
From (1); y = x+12, putting the value of y in eqn. (2); we have
x² – 6[(x+1)/2]² = 3
⇒ x² – (3/2) (x + 1)² = 3
⇒ 2x2 – 3 (x2 + 2x + 1) = 6
⇒ -x2 – 6x – 9 = 0
⇒ (x – 3)2 = 0
Clearly eqn. (3) have equal roots.
Thus line (1) touches given hyperbola (2).
∴ from (3); x + 3 = 0 ⇒ x = – 3
∴ from (1); y = – 1
Thus, the required point of contact be (- 3, – 1).
Que-13: Find the equations of the tangents to the hyperbola 2x2 – 3y2 = 6, which re parallel to the Iine x + y – 2 = 0.
Sol: eqn. of given hyperbola be, 2x² – 3y² = 6 ⇒ (x²/3) – (y²/2) = 1
On comparing eqn. (1) with (x²/a²) – (y²/b²) = 1
we have a² = 3 and b² = 2
and eqn. of given line be x + y – 2 = 0
i.e. y = – x + 2 …(2)
On comparing eqn. (2) with y = mx + c
we have m = – 1 and c = 2
Thus the required eqns. of tangents to eqn. (1) be given by
y = mx ± √{a²m²−b²}
⇒ y =- x ± √{3(−1)²−2}
⇒ y = – x ± 1
⇒ x + y ± 1 = 0
Que-14: The tangents from P to the hyperbola (x²/a²) – (y²/b²) = 1 are mutually perpendicular, show that the locus of P is the circle x2 + y2 = a2 – b2.
Sol: Given eqn. of hyperbola be
(x²/a²) – (y²/b²) = 1 …(1)
Thus, eqn. of tangents to hyperbola (1) at P (x, y) be given by
y = mx ± √{a²m²−b²}
⇒ y – mx = ± √{a²m²−b²}
On squaring both sides ; we have
(y – mx)2 = a2m2 – b2
⇒ m2x2 +y2 – 2myx + b2 – a2m2 = 0
⇒ m2x2 – 2myx + (b2 – a2m2 + y2) = 0
⇒ m2(x2 – a2) – 2xym + b2 + y2 = 0 …(2)
eqn. (2) is a quadratic in m and hence two roots say m1 and m2
∴ product of roots = m1 m2 = – 1
{(y²+b²)/(x²-a²)} = -1
y2 + b2 = -x2 + a2
⇒ x2 +y2 = a2 – b2 which is the required locus of point P.
Que-15: Show that the straight line x + y = 1 touches the hyperbola 2x2 – 3y2 = 6. Also find the coordinates of the point of contact.
Sol: Given eqn. of line be
x + y =1 …(1)
and eqn. of given hyperbola be
2x2 – 3y2 = 6 …(2)
∴ from (1); y = 1 – x, putting in eqn. (3); we get
2x2 – 3 (1 – x)2 = 6
⇒ 2x2 – 3 (x2 + 1 – 2x) = 6
⇒ -x2 + 6x – 9 = 0
⇒ x2 – 6x + 9 = 0
⇒ (x – 3)2 = 0 …(3)
Thus eqn. (3) is a quadratic in x and have two equal roots i.e. x = + 3, + 3.
∴ eqn. (1) touches hyperbola (2).
putting x = + 3 in eqn. (1); we have y = -2.
∴ required point of contact be (+ 3, – 2).
Que-16: Find the equations of the tangents to the hyperbola 4x2 – 9y2 = 144, which are perpendicular to the line 6x + 5y = 21.
Sol: Given eqn. of hyperbola be
4x² – 9y² = 144 ⇒ (x²/36) – (y²/16) = 1 …(1)
On comparing eqn. (1) with x2a2 – y2b2 = 1
we have, a² = 36 and b² = 16
slope of given line 6x + 5y – 21 = 0 be −6/5
∴ slope of line ⊥ to given line = {−1/(−6/5)} = 5/6 = m
Thus, eqns. of tangents to hyperbola (1) be given by
y = mx ± √{a²m²−b²}
⇒ y = 5/6 x ± √{36×(25/36)−16}
⇒ y = 5/6 x ± 3
⇒ 6y = 5x ± 18
⇒ 5x – 6y ± 18 = 0
