10-2. Parabola, Ellipse, Hyperbola
easy
The equation of the tangent to the hyperbola $2{x^2} - 3{y^2} = 6$ which is parallel to the line $y = 3x + 4$, is
A
$y = 3x + 5$
B
$y = 3x - 5$
C
$y = 3x + 5$ and $y = 3x - 5$
D
None of these
Solution
(c) Let tangent be $y = 3x + c$
$c = \pm \sqrt {{a^2}{m^2} – {b^2}} = \pm \sqrt {3.9 – 2} = \pm 5$
==> $y = 3x \pm 5$.
