MCQ
Let $y=m x+c, m>0$ be the focal chord of $y^{2}=-64 x$, which is tangent to $(x+10)^{2}+y^{2}=4$ Then, the value of $4 \sqrt{2}(\mathrm{~m}+\mathrm{c})$ is equal to $.....$
  • $34$
  • B
    $64$
  • C
    $62$
  • D
    $32$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$34$
a
$y^2=-64$

focus: $(-16,0)$

$\mathrm{y}=\mathrm{mx}+\mathrm{c}$ is focal chord

$\Rightarrow \mathrm{c}=16 \mathrm{~m} \ldots \ldots$. $(1)$

$y=m x+c$ is tangent to $(x+10)^{2}+y^{2}=4$

$\Rightarrow y-m(x+10) \pm 2 \sqrt{1+m^{2}}$

$\Rightarrow \mathrm{c}=10 \mathrm{~m} \pm 2 \sqrt{1+\mathrm{m}^{2}}$

$\Rightarrow 16 \mathrm{~m}=10 \pm 2 \sqrt{1+m^{2}}$

$\Rightarrow 6 m=2 \sqrt{1+m^{2}}(m>0)$

$\Rightarrow 9 \mathrm{~m}^{2}=1+\mathrm{m}^{2}$

$\Rightarrow m=\frac{1}{2 \sqrt{2}} \& c=\frac{8}{\sqrt{2}}$

$4 \sqrt{2}(m+c)=4 \sqrt{2}\left(\frac{17}{2 \sqrt{2}}\right)=34$
