The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to determine the range of \(\alpha\) such that two tangents can be drawn from the point \((\alpha, \alpha^2)\) to the hyperbola given by the equation: \[ \frac{x^2}{1} - \frac{y^2}{4} = 1 \] ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the hyperbola parameters**: The given hyperbola can be compared to the standard form \(\frac{x^2}{a^2} - \frac{y^2}{b^2} = 1\). Here, we have: - \(a^2 = 1 \Rightarrow a = 1\) - \(b^2 = 4 \Rightarrow b = 2\) 2. **Find the equations of the asymptotes**: The equations of the asymptotes for the hyperbola are given by: \[ y = \pm \frac{b}{a} x = \pm 2x \] 3. **Determine the conditions for the point \((\alpha, \alpha^2)\)**: For two tangents to be drawn from the point \((\alpha, \alpha^2)\) to the hyperbola, the point must lie between the two asymptotes. This means: \[ -2\alpha < \alpha^2 < 2\alpha \] 4. **Analyze the inequality \(\alpha^2 < 2\alpha\)**: Rearranging gives: \[ \alpha^2 - 2\alpha < 0 \Rightarrow \alpha(\alpha - 2) < 0 \] This inequality holds when \(\alpha\) is in the interval: \[ 0 < \alpha < 2 \] 5. **Analyze the inequality \(-2\alpha < \alpha^2\)**: Rearranging gives: \[ \alpha^2 + 2\alpha > 0 \Rightarrow \alpha(\alpha + 2) > 0 \] This inequality holds when \(\alpha < -2\) or \(\alpha > 0\). 6. **Combine the results**: We have two conditions: - From \(\alpha^2 < 2\alpha\): \(0 < \alpha < 2\) - From \(-2\alpha < \alpha^2\): \(\alpha < -2\) or \(\alpha > 0\) The valid range for \(\alpha\) that satisfies both conditions is: \[ 0 < \alpha < 2 \] ### Final Result: Thus, the range of \(\alpha\) for which two tangents can be drawn from the point \((\alpha, \alpha^2)\) to the hyperbola is: \[ \alpha \in (0, 2) \]
