10-2. Parabola, Ellipse, Hyperbola
medium
The equation of the normal to the hyperbola $\frac{{{x^2}}}{{16}} - \frac{{{y^2}}}{9} = 1$ at the point $(8,\;3\sqrt 3 )$ is
A
$\sqrt 3 x + 2y = 25$
B
$x + y = 25$
C
$y + 2x = 25$
D
$2x + \sqrt 3 y = 25$
Solution
(d) Applying the formula, the required normal is
$\frac{{16x}}{8} + \frac{{9y}}{{3\sqrt 3 }} = 16 + 9\,\,$
$i.e.,$$2x + \sqrt 3 y = 25$
Trick : This is the only equation among the given options at which the point $(8,\,3\sqrt 3 )$ is located.
