If the line `3 x +4y =sqrt7` touches the ellipse `3x^2 +4y^2 = 1,` then the point of contact is

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Equation of given tangent is
`3x+4y=sqrt(7)`
Let the line touch the given ellipse at point `P(x_(1),y_(1))" "(1)`
Thus, eqution of tangent toe ellipse at point P is
`3x x_(1)+4yy_(1)=1" "(2)`
Equation (1) an (2) represent the ame stright line.
`:. (3x_(1))/(3)=(4y_(1))/(4)=(1)/(sqrt7)`
`:. P(x_(1),y_(1))-=((1)/(sqrt7),(1)/(sqrt(7)))`
