The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will analyze the given information and derive the equation of the reflected ray from the hyperbola. ### Step 1: Identify the hyperbola and its properties The hyperbola is given by the equation: \[ \frac{x^2}{16} - \frac{y^2}{9} = 1 \] From this, we can identify the semi-major axis \(a = 4\) and semi-minor axis \(b = 3\). The eccentricity \(e\) can be calculated as: \[ e = \sqrt{1 + \frac{b^2}{a^2}} = \sqrt{1 + \frac{9}{16}} = \sqrt{\frac{25}{16}} = \frac{5}{4} \] The foci of the hyperbola are located at \((\pm ae, 0) = (\pm 5, 0)\). ### Step 2: Identify the incident ray The incident ray is given by the equation: \[ 3x + (5 - 4\sqrt{2})y = 15 \] We can rewrite this in slope-intercept form \(y = mx + c\) to find the slope: \[ y = \frac{-3}{4\sqrt{2} - 5}x + \frac{15}{5 - 4\sqrt{2}} \] The slope \(m_i\) of the incident ray is: \[ m_i = \frac{-3}{5 - 4\sqrt{2}} \] ### Step 3: Determine the point of intersection with the hyperbola We will find the point of intersection \(P\) of the incident ray with the hyperbola. We can parameterize a point on the hyperbola using: \[ P = (4\sec\theta, 3\tan\theta) \] Substituting \(x = 4\sec\theta\) and \(y = 3\tan\theta\) into the line equation gives us: \[ 3(4\sec\theta) + (5 - 4\sqrt{2})(3\tan\theta) = 15 \] This simplifies to: \[ 12\sec\theta + (5 - 4\sqrt{2})3\tan\theta = 15 \] ### Step 4: Solve for \(\theta\) Rearranging the equation: \[ (5 - 4\sqrt{2})3\tan\theta = 15 - 12\sec\theta \] This can be solved for \(\theta\). Notably, we find that \(\theta = \frac{\pi}{4}\) satisfies the equation. ### Step 5: Find the coordinates of point \(P\) Substituting \(\theta = \frac{\pi}{4}\): \[ P = (4\sec(\frac{\pi}{4}), 3\tan(\frac{\pi}{4})) = (4\sqrt{2}, 3) \] ### Step 6: Determine the reflected ray The reflected ray will pass through the point \(P\) and the second focus \(S'(-5, 0)\). The slope of the line joining \(P\) and \(S'\) is: \[ m_r = \frac{3 - 0}{4\sqrt{2} + 5} \] Using point-slope form, the equation of the reflected ray is: \[ y - 0 = \frac{3}{4\sqrt{2} + 5}(x + 5) \] ### Step 7: Simplify the equation of the reflected ray Rearranging gives: \[ y = \frac{3}{4\sqrt{2} + 5}(x + 5) \] This can be further simplified to find the final equation of the reflected ray. ### Step 8: Check against options After simplifying, we compare the derived equation with the given options to determine the correct answer.

To solve the problem step by step, we will analyze the given information and derive the equation of the reflected ray from the hyperbola. ### Step 1: Identify the hyperbola and its properties The hyperbola is given by the equation: \[ \frac{x^2}{16} - \frac{y^2}{9} = 1 \] From this, we can identify the semi-major axis \(a = 4\) and semi-minor axis \(b = 3\). The eccentricity \(e\) can be calculated as: ...
