The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will break down the information given and apply the necessary mathematical concepts. ### Step 1: Identify the curves and their equations We have the following curves: 1. Circle \( C: x^2 + y^2 = 9 \) 2. Ellipse \( E: \frac{x^2}{9} + \frac{y^2}{4} = 1 \) 3. Line \( L: y = 2x \) ### Step 2: Find the point \( P \) on the circle \( C \) Let \( P(a, b) \) be a point on the circle \( C \). Since \( P \) lies on the circle, it satisfies the equation: \[ a^2 + b^2 = 9 \] ### Step 3: Determine the slope of the normal at point \( P \) The normal to the circle at point \( P(a, b) \) has a slope that is the negative reciprocal of the slope of the tangent. The slope of the radius to point \( P \) is given by: \[ \text{slope of radius} = \frac{b}{a} \] Thus, the slope of the normal line \( L \) is: \[ \text{slope of normal} = -\frac{a}{b} \] ### Step 4: Set the normal line equal to the given line \( L \) Since the equation of the normal line is given as \( y = 2x \), we can equate the slopes: \[ -\frac{a}{b} = 2 \implies a = -2b \] ### Step 5: Substitute \( a \) in the circle equation Now substitute \( a = -2b \) into the circle equation: \[ (-2b)^2 + b^2 = 9 \implies 4b^2 + b^2 = 9 \implies 5b^2 = 9 \implies b^2 = \frac{9}{5} \implies b = \pm \frac{3}{\sqrt{5}} \] Now substituting back to find \( a \): \[ a = -2b = -2\left(\pm \frac{3}{\sqrt{5}}\right) = \mp \frac{6}{\sqrt{5}} \] Thus, the coordinates of point \( P \) can be: \[ P\left(-\frac{6}{\sqrt{5}}, \frac{3}{\sqrt{5}}\right) \quad \text{or} \quad P\left(\frac{6}{\sqrt{5}}, -\frac{3}{\sqrt{5}}\right) \] ### Step 6: Find the perpendicular line \( PL \) The line \( PL \) is perpendicular to the major axis of the ellipse \( E \) (the x-axis). Thus, it has the form \( x = k \) where \( k \) is the x-coordinate of point \( P \). ### Step 7: Find the point \( M \) where \( PL \) intersects the ellipse Substituting \( x = -\frac{6}{\sqrt{5}} \) into the ellipse equation: \[ \frac{\left(-\frac{6}{\sqrt{5}}\right)^2}{9} + \frac{y^2}{4} = 1 \] Calculating: \[ \frac{\frac{36}{5}}{9} + \frac{y^2}{4} = 1 \implies \frac{4}{5} + \frac{y^2}{4} = 1 \implies \frac{y^2}{4} = 1 - \frac{4}{5} = \frac{1}{5} \implies y^2 = \frac{4}{5} \implies y = \pm \frac{2}{\sqrt{5}} \] Thus, the point \( M \) is: \[ M\left(-\frac{6}{\sqrt{5}}, \frac{2}{\sqrt{5}}\right) \quad \text{or} \quad M\left(-\frac{6}{\sqrt{5}}, -\frac{2}{\sqrt{5}}\right) \] ### Step 8: Find the equation of the tangent at point \( M \) The slope of the tangent line to the ellipse at point \( M \) can be found using the derivative of the ellipse equation. The implicit differentiation gives: \[ \frac{d}{dx}\left(\frac{x^2}{9} + \frac{y^2}{4}\right) = 0 \implies \frac{2x}{9} + \frac{2y}{4}\frac{dy}{dx} = 0 \implies \frac{dy}{dx} = -\frac{4x}{9y} \] Substituting \( M\left(-\frac{6}{\sqrt{5}}, \frac{2}{\sqrt{5}}\right) \): \[ \frac{dy}{dx} = -\frac{4\left(-\frac{6}{\sqrt{5}}\right)}{9\left(\frac{2}{\sqrt{5}}\right)} = \frac{24/\sqrt{5}}{18/\sqrt{5}} = \frac{24}{18} = \frac{4}{3} \] ### Step 9: Write the equation of the tangent line Using the point-slope form of the line equation: \[ y - y_1 = m(x - x_1) \implies y - \frac{2}{\sqrt{5}} = \frac{4}{3}\left(x + \frac{6}{\sqrt{5}}\right) \] Simplifying: \[ y = \frac{4}{3}x + \frac{8}{\sqrt{5}} + \frac{2}{\sqrt{5}} = \frac{4}{3}x + \frac{10}{\sqrt{5}} = \frac{4}{3}x + 2\sqrt{5} \] ### Final Answer The equation of the tangent at point \( M \) to the ellipse \( E \) is: \[ y = \frac{4}{3}x + 2\sqrt{5} \]
