From a point `P(1,2)` , two tangents are drawn to a hyperbola `H` in which one tangent is drawn to each arm of the hyperbola. If the equations of the asymptotes of hyperbola `H` are `sqrt(3)x-y+5=0` and `sqrt(3)x+y-1=0` , then the eccentricity of `H` is 2 (b) `2/(sqrt(3))` (c) `sqrt(2)` (d) `sqrt(3)`

To solve the problem step-by-step, we will follow the reasoning presented in the video transcript and derive the eccentricity of the hyperbola based on the given information. ### Step 1: Identify the equations of the asymptotes The equations of the asymptotes of the hyperbola \( H \) are given as: 1. \( \sqrt{3}x - y + 5 = 0 \) (let's call this \( L_1 \)) 2. \( \sqrt{3}x + y - 1 = 0 \) (let's call this \( L_2 \)) ### Step 2: Determine the slopes of the asymptotes ...
