10-2. Parabola, Ellipse, Hyperbola
easy
If the line $y = 2x + \lambda $ be a tangent to the hyperbola $36{x^2} - 25{y^2} = 3600$, then $\lambda = $
A
$16$
B
$-16$
C
$ \pm 16$
D
None of these
Solution
(c) If $y = 2x + \lambda $ is tangent to given hyperabola,
then $\lambda = \pm \sqrt {{a^2}{m^2} – {b^2}} = \pm \sqrt {(100)\,(4) – 144}$
$= \pm \sqrt {256} = \pm 16$.
