Tangents are drawn to the hyperbola x^2/...

Tangents are drawn to the hyperbola `x^2/9-y^2/4=1` parallet to the sraight line `2x-y=1.` The points of contact of the tangents on the hyperbola are (A) `(9/(2sqrt2),1/sqrt2)` (B) `(-9/(2sqrt2),-1/sqrt2)` (C) `(3sqrt3,-2sqrt2)` (D) `(-3sqrt3,2sqrt2)`

A

`((9)/(2sqrt2),(1)/(sqrt2))`

B

`(-(9)/(2sqrt2),-(1)/(sqrt2))`

C

`(3sqrt3,-2sqrt2)`

D

`(3sqrt3,-2sqrt2)`

To solve the problem of finding the points of contact of tangents drawn to the hyperbola \( \frac{x^2}{9} - \frac{y^2}{4} = 1 \) that are parallel to the line \( 2x - y = 1 \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the slope of the given line The equation of the line is \( 2x - y = 1 \). We can rewrite this in slope-intercept form \( y = mx + c \): \[ y = 2x - 1 \] From this, we can see that the slope \( m \) of the line is \( 2 \). ...
