The locus of the point of intersection of the tangent at the endpoints of the focal chord of the ellipse `(x^2)/(a^2)+(y^2)/(b^2)=1(b

A

circle

B

ellipse

C

hyperbola

D

pair of straight lines

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Since the locus of the point of intersection of the tangent at the endpoints of a focal is directirx, the requied locus is `x=+-a//e` , which is pair of straight lines.
