The correct Answer is:
To find the equation of the hyperbola given its foci and the equation of a tangent, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the foci and parameters The foci of the hyperbola are given as \( (±3, 0) \). This indicates that the hyperbola is centered at the origin and opens along the x-axis. The distance from the center to each focus is denoted as \( c \), so we have: \[ c = 3 \] ### Step 2: Relate \( c \), \( a \), and \( b \) For hyperbolas, the relationship between \( a \), \( b \), and \( c \) is given by: \[ c^2 = a^2 + b^2 \] Since \( c = 3 \), we can write: \[ c^2 = 9 \] Thus, we have: \[ 9 = a^2 + b^2 \quad \text{(Equation 1)} \] ### Step 3: Use the tangent equation The equation of the tangent is given as \( 2x + y - 4 = 0 \). We can rewrite this in slope-intercept form: \[ y = -2x + 4 \] From this, we can identify the slope \( m = -2 \) and the y-intercept \( c = 4 \). ### Step 4: Use the tangent condition For hyperbolas, the relationship involving the slope of the tangent line is given by: \[ c^2 = a^2 m^2 - b^2 \] Substituting the values we have: \[ 16 = a^2 (-2)^2 - b^2 \] This simplifies to: \[ 16 = 4a^2 - b^2 \quad \text{(Equation 2)} \] ### Step 5: Solve the system of equations Now we have two equations: 1. \( 9 = a^2 + b^2 \) (Equation 1) 2. \( 16 = 4a^2 - b^2 \) (Equation 2) From Equation 1, we can express \( b^2 \) in terms of \( a^2 \): \[ b^2 = 9 - a^2 \] Substituting this into Equation 2: \[ 16 = 4a^2 - (9 - a^2) \] This simplifies to: \[ 16 = 4a^2 - 9 + a^2 \] \[ 16 + 9 = 5a^2 \] \[ 25 = 5a^2 \] \[ a^2 = 5 \] ### Step 6: Find \( b^2 \) Now substituting \( a^2 = 5 \) back into Equation 1: \[ 9 = 5 + b^2 \] \[ b^2 = 4 \] ### Step 7: Write the equation of the hyperbola The standard form of the hyperbola that opens along the x-axis is: \[ \frac{x^2}{a^2} - \frac{y^2}{b^2} = 1 \] Substituting \( a^2 = 5 \) and \( b^2 = 4 \): \[ \frac{x^2}{5} - \frac{y^2}{4} = 1 \] To eliminate the fractions, we can multiply through by 20: \[ 4x^2 - 5y^2 = 20 \] ### Final Answer The equation of the hyperbola is: \[ 4x^2 - 5y^2 = 20 \]
