10-2. Parabola, Ellipse, Hyperbola
medium
Find the equation of axis of the given hyperbola $\frac{{{x^2}}}{3} - \frac{{{y^2}}}{2} = 1$ which is equally inclined to the axes
A
$y = x + 1$
B
$y = x - 1$
C
$y = x + 2$
D
$y = x - 2$
Solution
(a) $\frac{{{x^2}}}{3} – \frac{{{y^2}}}{2} = 1$
Equation of tangent are equally inclined to the axis
$i.e.$, $\tan \theta = 1 = m$.
Eq. of tangent $y = mx + \sqrt {{a^2}{m^2} – {b^2}} $
Given eq. $\frac{{{x^2}}}{3} – \frac{{{y^2}}}{2} = 1$ is a eq. of hyperbola
which is of form $\frac{{{x^2}}}{{{a^2}}} – \frac{{{y^2}}}{{{b^2}}} = 1$.
Now, on comparing ${a^2} = 3$, ${b^2} = 2$
$y = 1.x + \sqrt {3 \times {{(1)}^2} – 2} $
==> $y = x + 1$.
