10-2. Parabola, Ellipse, Hyperbola
normal
The locus of the foot of the perpendicular from the centre of the hyperbola $xy = c^2$ on a variable tangent is :
A
$(x^2 - y^2)^2 = 4c^2 xy$
B
$(x^2 + y^2)^2 = 2c^2 xy$
C
$(x^2 + y^2) = 4x^2 xy$
D
$(x^2 + y^2)^2 = 4c^2 xy$
Solution

$hx + ky = h^2 + k^2 .$ Solve it with $ xy = c^2 $ and $ D = 0$
or compare these with tangent at $t$ and eliminate $t$.
