The correct Answer is:
To find the equation of the tangent parallel to \( y - x + 5 = 0 \) drawn to the hyperbola given by \( \frac{x^2}{3} - \frac{y^2}{2} = 1 \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the slope of the given line The equation of the line can be rewritten in slope-intercept form: \[ y = x - 5 \] From this, we see that the slope \( m \) of the line is \( 1 \). **Hint:** The slope-intercept form of a line is \( y = mx + c \), where \( m \) is the slope. ### Step 2: Write the equation of the tangent line Since we need a line parallel to the given line, we can express the equation of the tangent line in the form: \[ y = x + c \] where \( c \) is a constant that we need to determine. **Hint:** Parallel lines have the same slope. ### Step 3: Use the condition for tangency The equation of the hyperbola is given by: \[ \frac{x^2}{3} - \frac{y^2}{2} = 1 \] For the line \( y = x + c \) to be tangent to the hyperbola, we substitute \( y \) in the hyperbola's equation: \[ \frac{x^2}{3} - \frac{(x + c)^2}{2} = 1 \] **Hint:** Substitute the expression for \( y \) into the hyperbola's equation. ### Step 4: Expand and simplify Expanding the equation: \[ \frac{x^2}{3} - \frac{x^2 + 2cx + c^2}{2} = 1 \] This simplifies to: \[ \frac{x^2}{3} - \frac{x^2}{2} - cx - \frac{c^2}{2} = 1 \] To combine the terms, find a common denominator (which is 6): \[ \frac{2x^2}{6} - \frac{3x^2}{6} - cx - \frac{c^2}{2} = 1 \] This leads to: \[ -\frac{x^2}{6} - cx - \frac{c^2}{2} - 1 = 0 \] Multiplying through by -6 gives: \[ x^2 + 6cx + 3c^2 + 12 = 0 \] **Hint:** When simplifying, ensure all terms are combined correctly. ### Step 5: Apply the condition for tangency For the line to be tangent to the hyperbola, the discriminant of the quadratic equation must be zero: \[ (6c)^2 - 4(1)(3c^2 + 12) = 0 \] Calculating the discriminant: \[ 36c^2 - 12c^2 - 48 = 0 \] This simplifies to: \[ 24c^2 - 48 = 0 \] Solving for \( c^2 \): \[ 24c^2 = 48 \implies c^2 = 2 \implies c = \pm \sqrt{2} \] **Hint:** The discriminant must equal zero for there to be exactly one solution (tangency). ### Step 6: Write the equations of the tangents Substituting \( c \) back into the tangent line equation: \[ y = x + \sqrt{2} \quad \text{and} \quad y = x - \sqrt{2} \] These can be rewritten in standard form: \[ x - y + \sqrt{2} = 0 \quad \text{and} \quad x - y - \sqrt{2} = 0 \] **Hint:** Rearranging the equation gives the standard form of the line. ### Final Answer The equations of the tangents parallel to \( y - x + 5 = 0 \) drawn to the hyperbola are: \[ x - y + \sqrt{2} = 0 \quad \text{and} \quad x - y - \sqrt{2} = 0 \]
