If theta (1), theta(2) are the angles of...

If `theta _(1), theta_(2)` are the angles of inclination of
tangents through a point P to the circle
`x^(2)+y^(2) = a^(2) ` then find the locus of P when
`cot theta_(1) + cot theta_(2) = k.`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
Thus the locus of P is ` 2xy = k (y^(2) -a^(2))`
