The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will analyze the given hyperbola and the line, and then we will find the eccentricity of the hyperbola. ### Step 1: Identify the equation of the hyperbola The hyperbola is given by the equation: \[ \frac{(x-7)^2}{a} - \frac{(y+3)^2}{b^2} = 1 \] This is in the standard form of a hyperbola centered at (7, -3). ### Step 2: Analyze the line The line given is: \[ 3x - 2y - 25 = 0 \] We can rewrite this in slope-intercept form \(y = mx + c\): \[ 2y = 3x - 25 \implies y = \frac{3}{2}x - \frac{25}{2} \] The slope \(m\) of the line is \(\frac{3}{2}\). ### Step 3: Determine the relationship between the line and the hyperbola Since the line intersects the hyperbola at only one point and is not a tangent, it must be an asymptote of the hyperbola. The slope of the asymptotes of a hyperbola in the form given is \(\pm \frac{b}{a}\). Thus, we have: \[ \frac{b}{a} = \frac{3}{2} \] ### Step 4: Express \(b\) in terms of \(a\) From the relationship \(\frac{b}{a} = \frac{3}{2}\), we can express \(b\) as: \[ b = \frac{3}{2}a \] ### Step 5: Calculate the eccentricity of the hyperbola The eccentricity \(e\) of a hyperbola is given by the formula: \[ e = \sqrt{1 + \frac{b^2}{a^2}} \] Substituting \(b = \frac{3}{2}a\) into the eccentricity formula: \[ e = \sqrt{1 + \frac{\left(\frac{3}{2}a\right)^2}{a^2}} = \sqrt{1 + \frac{\frac{9}{4}a^2}{a^2}} = \sqrt{1 + \frac{9}{4}} = \sqrt{\frac{13}{4}} = \frac{\sqrt{13}}{2} \] ### Step 6: Final answer Thus, the eccentricity of the hyperbola is: \[ \frac{\sqrt{13}}{2} \]

To solve the problem step by step, we will analyze the given hyperbola and the line, and then we will find the eccentricity of the hyperbola. ### Step 1: Identify the equation of the hyperbola The hyperbola is given by the equation: \[ \frac{(x-7)^2}{a} - \frac{(y+3)^2}{b^2} = 1 \] This is in the standard form of a hyperbola centered at (7, -3). ...
