To find the locus of the midpoint of the chord of contact from a point on the hyperbola \( \frac{x^2}{9} - \frac{y^2}{4} = 1 \) to the circle \( x^2 + y^2 = 9 \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify a point on the hyperbola Let the point on the hyperbola be given in parametric form: \[ P(3 \sec \theta, 2 \tan \theta) \] This is derived from the hyperbola's equation where \( a^2 = 9 \) and \( b^2 = 4 \). ...
