Tangents are drawn from any point on the hyperbola `(x^2)/9-(y^2)/4=1` to the circle `x^2+y^2=9` . Find the locus of the midpoint of the chord of contact.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Let the midpoint of chord of contact is`(h,k)`
Parametric point on given hyperbola is`P(3sectheta, 2tantheta)`
Equation of tangent to given circle from the point P is,
`T=0`
`3xsectheta +2ytantheta=9 => (1)` Equation of tangent with the mid point(h,k) to the circle `x^2+y^2=9` is
`T=S1`
`hx+ky-9=h^2+k^2-9`
...
