The tangents from `(1, 2sqrt2)` to the hyperbola `16x^2-25y^2 = 400` include between them an angle equal to:

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
`y=-3xpmsqrt(209)`
We have hyperbola `(x^(2))/(25)-(y^(2))/(16)=1`.
The slope of given line `x-3y=4` is 1/3.
So, the slope of tangent is `-3.`
Therefore, equations of tangests are
`y=-3xpmsqrt(25xx9-16)`
`"or "y=-3x pm sqrt(209)`
