The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to prove that \( \beta^2 = 2\alpha^2 - 7 \) given the conditions of the hyperbola and the tangents drawn from the point \((\alpha, \beta)\). ### Step 1: Write the equation of the hyperbola The hyperbola is given as: \[ 3x^2 - 2y^2 = 6 \] We can rewrite this in standard form: \[ \frac{x^2}{2} - \frac{y^2}{3} = 1 \] From this, we identify \( a^2 = 2 \) and \( b^2 = 3 \). ### Step 2: Write the equation of the tangent to the hyperbola The equation of the tangent to the hyperbola at the point \((\alpha, \beta)\) can be expressed as: \[ y = mx \pm \sqrt{a^2m^2 - b^2} \] Substituting \( a^2 \) and \( b^2 \): \[ y = mx \pm \sqrt{2m^2 - 3} \] ### Step 3: Substitute the point \((\alpha, \beta)\) into the tangent equation Since the point \((\alpha, \beta)\) lies on the tangent, we substitute \( x = \alpha \) and \( y = \beta \): \[ \beta = m\alpha \pm \sqrt{2m^2 - 3 \] ### Step 4: Rearranging the equation Rearranging gives us: \[ \beta - m\alpha = \pm \sqrt{2m^2 - 3} \] Squaring both sides: \[ (\beta - m\alpha)^2 = 2m^2 - 3 \] Expanding the left side: \[ \beta^2 - 2m\alpha\beta + m^2\alpha^2 = 2m^2 - 3 \] ### Step 5: Rearranging to form a quadratic in \(m\) Rearranging the equation gives: \[ m^2(\alpha^2 - 2) - 2m\alpha\beta + (\beta^2 + 3) = 0 \] This is a quadratic equation in \(m\). ### Step 6: Using the product of the slopes Let the slopes of the tangents be \( m_1 \) and \( m_2 \). The product of the slopes is given by: \[ m_1 m_2 = \frac{c}{a} = \frac{\beta^2 + 3}{\alpha^2 - 2} \] Given that \( \tan \theta \tan \phi = 2 \), we have: \[ m_1 m_2 = 2 \] Setting these equal gives: \[ \frac{\beta^2 + 3}{\alpha^2 - 2} = 2 \] ### Step 7: Cross-multiplying and simplifying Cross-multiplying gives: \[ \beta^2 + 3 = 2(\alpha^2 - 2) \] Expanding the right side: \[ \beta^2 + 3 = 2\alpha^2 - 4 \] Rearranging gives: \[ \beta^2 = 2\alpha^2 - 7 \] ### Conclusion We have proved that: \[ \beta^2 = 2\alpha^2 - 7 \]

To solve the problem, we need to prove that \( \beta^2 = 2\alpha^2 - 7 \) given the conditions of the hyperbola and the tangents drawn from the point \((\alpha, \beta)\). ### Step 1: Write the equation of the hyperbola The hyperbola is given as: \[ 3x^2 - 2y^2 = 6 \] We can rewrite this in standard form: ...
