10-2. Parabola, Ellipse, Hyperbola
normal
Locus of the feet of the perpendiculars drawn from either foci on a variable tangent to the hyperbola $16y^2 - 9x^2 = 1 $ is
A
$x^2 + y^2 = 9$
B
$x^2 + y^2 = 1/9$
C
$x^2 + y^2 =7/144$
D
$x^2 + y^2 = 1/16$
Solution

$\frac{{{y^2}}}{{1/16}}\,\, – \,\,\frac{{{x^2}}}{{1/9}}\,\, = \,\,1\,$
Locus will be the auxilary circle $x^2 + y^2 = 1/16$
