The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we need to find the points on the ellipse \(\frac{x^2}{2} + \frac{y^2}{10} = 1\) from which perpendicular tangents can be drawn to the hyperbola \(\frac{x^2}{5} - \frac{y^2}{1} = 1\). ### Step 1: Find the equation of the director circle of the hyperbola The equation of the director circle for a hyperbola given in the form \(\frac{x^2}{a^2} - \frac{y^2}{b^2} = 1\) is given by: \[ x^2 + y^2 = a^2 - b^2 \] For the hyperbola \(\frac{x^2}{5} - \frac{y^2}{1} = 1\): - Here, \(a^2 = 5\) and \(b^2 = 1\). - Therefore, the equation of the director circle is: \[ x^2 + y^2 = 5 - 1 = 4 \] This simplifies to: \[ x^2 + y^2 = 4 \] ### Step 2: Parametric equations for the ellipse The ellipse \(\frac{x^2}{2} + \frac{y^2}{10} = 1\) can be represented parametrically as: \[ x = \sqrt{2} \cos \theta \] \[ y = \sqrt{10} \sin \theta \] ### Step 3: Substitute parametric equations into the director circle equation Substituting the parametric equations into the director circle equation \(x^2 + y^2 = 4\): \[ (\sqrt{2} \cos \theta)^2 + (\sqrt{10} \sin \theta)^2 = 4 \] This simplifies to: \[ 2 \cos^2 \theta + 10 \sin^2 \theta = 4 \] ### Step 4: Rearranging the equation Rearranging the equation gives: \[ 2 \cos^2 \theta + 10 (1 - \cos^2 \theta) = 4 \] Expanding this results in: \[ 2 \cos^2 \theta + 10 - 10 \cos^2 \theta = 4 \] Combining like terms: \[ -8 \cos^2 \theta + 10 = 4 \] ### Step 5: Solving for \(\cos^2 \theta\) Subtracting 10 from both sides: \[ -8 \cos^2 \theta = -6 \] Dividing by -8: \[ \cos^2 \theta = \frac{6}{8} = \frac{3}{4} \] Taking the square root gives: \[ \cos \theta = \pm \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \] ### Step 6: Finding \(\sin^2 \theta\) Using the identity \(\sin^2 \theta + \cos^2 \theta = 1\): \[ \sin^2 \theta = 1 - \cos^2 \theta = 1 - \frac{3}{4} = \frac{1}{4} \] Taking the square root gives: \[ \sin \theta = \pm \frac{1}{2} \] ### Step 7: Finding the coordinates \(x\) and \(y\) Now substituting the values of \(\cos \theta\) and \(\sin \theta\) back into the parametric equations for \(x\) and \(y\): 1. For \(x\): \[ x = \sqrt{2} \cos \theta = \sqrt{2} \left(\pm \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right) = \pm \frac{\sqrt{6}}{2} \] 2. For \(y\): \[ y = \sqrt{10} \sin \theta = \sqrt{10} \left(\pm \frac{1}{2}\right) = \pm \frac{\sqrt{10}}{2} \] ### Final Points Thus, the points from which perpendicular tangents can be drawn to the hyperbola are: \[ \left(\frac{\sqrt{6}}{2}, \frac{\sqrt{10}}{2}\right), \left(\frac{\sqrt{6}}{2}, -\frac{\sqrt{10}}{2}\right), \left(-\frac{\sqrt{6}}{2}, \frac{\sqrt{10}}{2}\right), \left(-\frac{\sqrt{6}}{2}, -\frac{\sqrt{10}}{2}\right) \]

To solve the problem step by step, we need to find the points on the ellipse \(\frac{x^2}{2} + \frac{y^2}{10} = 1\) from which perpendicular tangents can be drawn to the hyperbola \(\frac{x^2}{5} - \frac{y^2}{1} = 1\). ### Step 1: Find the equation of the director circle of the hyperbola The equation of the director circle for a hyperbola given in the form \(\frac{x^2}{a^2} - \frac{y^2}{b^2} = 1\) is given by: \[ x^2 + y^2 = a^2 - b^2 \] ...
