The correct Answer is:
To find the value of \(\lambda\) such that the line \(y = 2x + \lambda\) touches the hyperbola \(9x^2 - 5y^2 = 45\), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Convert the hyperbola to standard form The given hyperbola is: \[ 9x^2 - 5y^2 = 45 \] Dividing both sides by 45, we get: \[ \frac{x^2}{5} - \frac{y^2}{9} = 1 \] This is the standard form of the hyperbola. ### Step 2: Identify the parameters of the hyperbola From the standard form \(\frac{x^2}{a^2} - \frac{y^2}{b^2} = 1\), we can identify: - \(a^2 = 5\) (thus \(a = \sqrt{5}\)) - \(b^2 = 9\) (thus \(b = 3\)) ### Step 3: Write the equation of the tangent line The equation of the tangent line to the hyperbola in terms of slope \(m\) is given by: \[ y = mx \pm \sqrt{b^2m^2 - a^2} \] Substituting \(a^2\) and \(b^2\): \[ y = mx \pm \sqrt{9m^2 - 5} \] ### Step 4: Set the slope equal to 2 Since the line given is \(y = 2x + \lambda\), we have the slope \(m = 2\). Substituting \(m = 2\) into the tangent equation: \[ y = 2x \pm \sqrt{9(2^2) - 5} \] Calculating the expression under the square root: \[ 9(4) - 5 = 36 - 5 = 31 \] Thus, the tangent line becomes: \[ y = 2x \pm \sqrt{31} \] ### Step 5: Relate the tangent line to the given line The line \(y = 2x + \lambda\) touches the hyperbola if it can be expressed in the form of the tangent line. Therefore, we equate: \[ \lambda = \pm \sqrt{31} \] ### Step 6: Final values of \(\lambda\) Thus, the values of \(\lambda\) are: \[ \lambda = \sqrt{31} \quad \text{or} \quad \lambda = -\sqrt{31} \] ### Conclusion The values of \(\lambda\) for which the line touches the hyperbola are: \[ \lambda = \pm \sqrt{31} \] ---
