Answer
Let the required equation of hyperbola be $\frac{x^2}{a^2}-\frac{y^2}{b^2}=1$

Length of conjugate axis = 2b

Given, length of conjugate axis = 3

∴ 2b = 3

$\begin{aligned} & \therefore b=\frac{3}{2} \\ & \therefore b^2=\frac{9}{4}\end{aligned}$

Distance between foci = 2ae

Given, distance between foci = 5

∴ 2ae = 5

$\begin{aligned} & \therefore ae =\frac{5}{2} \\ & \therefore a ^2 e ^2=\frac{25}{4}\end{aligned}$

$\begin{aligned} & \text { Now, } b^2=a^2\left(e^2-1\right) \\ & \therefore b^2=a^2 e^2-a^2 \\ & \therefore \frac{9}{4}=\frac{25}{4}-a^2 \\ & \therefore a^2=\frac{25}{4}-\frac{9}{4} \\ & \therefore a^2=4\end{aligned}$

Question 73 Marks
Find the equation of the ellipse in standard form if :

passing through the points (-3, 1) and (2, -2).

Answer
Let the required equation of ellipse be $\frac{x^2}{a^2}+\frac{y^2}{b^2}=1$, where $a > b$.

The ellipse passes through the points (-3, 1) and (2, -2).

∴ Substituting x = -3 and y = 1 in equation of ellipse, we get

$\begin{aligned} & \frac{(-3)^2}{a^2}+\frac{1^2}{b^2}=1 \\ & \therefore \frac{9}{a^2}+\frac{1}{b^2}=1\end{aligned}$

Substituting x = 2 and y = -2 in equation of ellipse, we get

$\begin{aligned} & \frac{2^2}{a^2}+\frac{(-2)^2}{b^2}=1 \\ & \therefore \frac{4}{a^2}+\frac{4}{b^2}=1 \ldots \ldots \text {.iii) } \\ & \text { Let } \frac{1}{a^2}= A \text { and } \frac{1}{b^2}= B \end{aligned}$

∴ Equations (i) and (ii) become

9A + B = 1 ..…(iii)

4A + 4B = 1 …..(iv)

Multiplying (iii) by 4, we get

36A + 4B = 4 …..(v)

Subtracting (iv) from (v), we get

32A = 3

$\therefore A =\frac{3}{32}$

Substituting $A=\frac{3}{32}$ in (iv), we get

$\begin{aligned} & 4\left(\frac{3}{32}\right)+4 B=1 \\ & \therefore \frac{3}{8}+4 B=1 \\ & \therefore 4 B=1-\frac{3}{8} \\ & \therefore 4 B=\frac{5}{8} \\ & \therefore B=\frac{5}{32}\end{aligned}$

Since $\frac{1}{a^2}=A$ and $\frac{1}{b^2}=B$

$\begin{aligned} & \frac{1}{a^2}=\frac{3}{32} \text { and } \frac{1}{b^2}=\frac{5}{32} \\ & \therefore a^2=\frac{32}{3} \text { and } b^2=\frac{32}{5}\end{aligned}$

∴ The required equation of ellipse is

$\begin{aligned} & \frac{x^2}{\left(\frac{32}{3}\right)}+\frac{y^2}{\left(\frac{32}{5}\right)} \\ & \text { i.e., } 3 x^2+5 y^2=32\end{aligned}$

Question 83 Marks
Find the equation of the ellipse in standard form if :

the length of the major axis is 10 and the distance between foci is 8.

Answer
Let the equation of the ellipse be

$\frac{x^2}{a^2}+\frac{y^2}{b^2}=1$

Then length of major axis = 2a = 10

∴ a = 5

Also, distance between foci= 2ae = 8

∴ 2 × 5 × e = 8

$\begin{aligned} & \therefore e=\frac{4}{5} \\ & \therefore b^2=a^2\left(1-e^2\right) \\ & =25\left(1-\frac{6}{25}\right) \\ & =9\end{aligned}$

$\therefore$ from (1), the equation of the required ellipse is $\frac{x^2}{25}+\frac{y^2}{9}=1$

Question 93 Marks
Find the equation of the ellipse in standard form if
eccentricity $=\frac{3}{8}$ and distance between its foci $=6$.
Answer
Let the required equation of ellipse be $\frac{x^2}{a^2}+\frac{y^2}{b^2}=1$, where $a>b$.Given, eccentricity $( e )=\frac{3}{8}$
Distance between foci $= 2ae$
Given, distance between foci $= 6$
$\therefore 2ae = 6$
$\therefore 2 a\left(\frac{3}{8}\right)=6$
$\therefore \frac{3 a}{4}=6$
$\therefore a=8$
$\therefore a^2=64$ $\text { Now, } b^2=a^2\left(1- e ^2\right)$
$=64\left[1-\left(\frac{3}{8}\right)^2\right]$
$=4\left(1-\frac{9}{64}\right)$
$=64\left(\frac{55}{64}\right)$
$=55$
$\therefore$ The required equation of the ellipse is $\frac{x^2}{64}+\frac{y^2}{55}=1$

Question 113 Marks
Show that the two tangents drawn to the parabola $y ^2=24 x$ from the point $(-6,9)$ are atthe right angle.
Answer
Given the equation of the parabola is $y^2=24 x$.Comparing this equation with $y^2=4 a x$, we get
$4a = 24$
$\Rightarrow a = 6$
Equation of tangent to the parabola $y ^2=4$ ax having slope $m$ is
$y=m x+\frac{a}{m}$
$\Rightarrow y=m x+\frac{6}{m}$
But, $(-6, 9)$ lies on the tangent
$9=-6 m+\frac{6}{m}$
$\Rightarrow 9 m=-6 m^2+6$
$\Rightarrow 6 m^2+9 m-6=0$
The roots $m_1$ and $m_2$ of this quadratic equation are the slopes of the tangents.
$m_1m_2 = -1$
Tangents drawn to the parabola $y^2=24 x$ from the point $(-6,9)$ are at a right angle.
Alternate method:
Comparing the given equation with $y ^2=4 ax$, we get
$4a = 24$
$\Rightarrow a = 6$
Equation of the directrix is $x = -6.$
The given point lies on the directrix.
Since tangents are drawn from a point on the directrix are perpendicular,
Tangents drawn to the parabola $y^2=24 x$ from the point $(-6,9)$ are at the right angle.

Question 123 Marks
Find the equations of the tangents to the parabola $y^2=9 x$ through the point $(4,10)$.
Answer
Given equation of the parabola is $y^2=9 x$
Comparing this equation with $y^2=4 a x$, we get
$4a = 9$
$\therefore a=\frac{9}{4}$
Equation of tangent to the parabola $y ^2=4 a x$ having slope $m$ is
$y=m x+\frac{a}{m}$
$y=m x+\frac{9}{4 m}$
But, (4, 10) lies on the tangent.
$10=4 m+\frac{9}{4 m}$
$\Rightarrow 40 m=16 m^2+9$
$\Rightarrow 16 m^2-40 m+9=0$
$\Rightarrow 16 m^2-36 m-4 m+9=0$
$\Rightarrow 4 m(4 m-9)-1(4 m-9)=0$
$\Rightarrow(4 m-9)(4 m-1)=0$
$\Rightarrow 4 m-9=0 \text { or } 4 m-1=0$
$\Rightarrow m=\frac{9}{4} \text { or } m=\frac{1}{4}$
These are the slopes of the required tangents.
By slope point form, $y-y_1=m\left(x-x_1\right)$,
the equations of the tangents are
$y-10=\frac{9}{4}(x-4) \text { or } y-10=\frac{1}{4}(x-4)$
$\Rightarrow 4 y-40=9 x-36 \text { or } 4 y-40=x-4$
$\Rightarrow 9 x-4 y+4=0 \text { or } x-4 y+36=0$

Question 133 Marks
Find the equation of the tangent to the hyperbola $2 x^2-3 y^2=5$ at a point in the third quadrant whose abscissa is -2 .
Answer
Let $P\left(-2, y_1\right)$ be the point on the hyperbola
$
\begin{aligned}
& \therefore 2(-2)^2-3 y^2=5 \\
& \therefore 8-5=3 y^2 \\
& \therefore 3=3 y^2 \\
& \therefore y^2=1 \\
& \therefore y= \pm 1
\end{aligned}
$
But $P$ lies in the third quadrant.
$
\therefore P \equiv(-2,-1)
$
The equation of the hyperbola is $\frac{x^2}{5 / 2}-\frac{y^2}{5 / 3}=1$. Comparing this with the
equation $\frac{x^2}{a^2}-\frac{y^2}{b^2}=1$, we have
$
a^2=\frac{5}{2}, b^2=\frac{5}{3}
$
The equation of tangent at $P\left(x_1, y_1\right) \equiv P(-2 .-1)$ is
$
\begin{aligned}
& \frac{x x_1}{a^2}-\frac{y y_1}{b^2}=1 \\
& \therefore 2 x x_1-3 y y_1=5 \\
& \therefore 2 x(-2)-3 y(-1)=5 \\
& \therefore-4 x+3 y=5 \\
& \therefore 4 x-3 y+5=0

$
\frac{x^2}{a^2}-\frac{y^2}{b^2}=1
$
Since eccentricity $=e=\frac{5}{3}$ and distance between
$
\begin{aligned}
\text { directrices } & =\frac{2 a}{e}=\frac{18}{5} \\
\therefore \frac{a}{e} & =\frac{9}{5} \\
\therefore a & =\frac{9}{5} e=\frac{9}{5} \times \frac{5}{3}, a=3 \\
\therefore a^2 & =9
\end{aligned}
$
Now $b^2=a^2\left(e^2-1\right)=9\left(\frac{25}{9}-1\right)$ :
$
=9 \times \frac{16}{9}=16
$
Then from (1), the equation of the required hyperbola is $\frac{x^2}{9}-\frac{y^2}{16}=1$

Question 153 Marks
Find the equations of tangents to the ellipse $4 x^2+9 y^2=36$ passing through the point $(2,-2)$.
Answer
Equation of the ellipse is $4 x^2+9 y^2=36$ i.e. $\frac{x^2}{9}+\frac{y^2}{4}=1$
compairing it with $\frac{x^2}{a^2}+\frac{y^2}{b^2}=1$ $a^2=9$ and $b^2=4$
Equation of tangent in terms of slope $m$, to the ellipse is
$
y=m x \pm \sqrt{a^2 m^2+b^2}
$
Point $(2,-2)$ lies on the tangent
$
\begin{aligned}
& \therefore(-2)=m(2) \pm \sqrt{9 m^2+4} \\
& \therefore-2 m-2= \pm \sqrt{9 m^2+4}
\end{aligned}
$
squaring both sides
$
\begin{aligned}
& 4 m^2+8 m+4=9 m^2+4 \\
& -5 m^2+8 m=0 \\
& m(-5 m+8)=0 \Rightarrow m=0 \text { or } m=8 / 5
\end{aligned}
$
Equation of tangent line having slope $m$ and passing through pt $(2,-2)$ is $y+2=m(x-2)$
i.e. $y+2=0(x-2)$ or $y+2=\frac{8}{5}(x-2)$
$
y+2=0
$
$
\begin{aligned}
& 5 y+10=8 x-16 \\
& 8 x-5 y-26=0
\end{aligned}
$
Thus equation of tangents are $y+2=0$ and $8 x-5 y-26=0$

Find the equation to tangent to the parabola $y^2=12 x$ from the point $(2,5)$.
Answer
Equation of the parabola is $y^2=12 x$
comparing it with $y^2=4 a x \Rightarrow 4 a=12$
$
\therefore a=3
$
Tangents are drawn to the parabola from the point $(2,5)$.
We know, equation of tangent to the parabola $y^2=4 a x$ having slopes $m$ is $y=m x+\frac{a}{m}$.
$
\begin{aligned}
& (5)=m(2)+\frac{(3)}{m} \\
& 5 m=2 m^2+3 \\
& 2 m^2-5 m+3=0 \\
& 2 m^2-2 m-3 m+3=0 \\
& (2 m-3)(m-1)=0 \\
& m=\frac{3}{2} \quad \text { or } m=1
\end{aligned}
$
These are the slopes of tangents.
Therefore the equations of tangents by slope - point form are
$
\begin{aligned}
& (y-5)=\frac{3}{2}(x-2) \text { and }(y-5)=1(x-2) \\
& \therefore 2 y-10=3 x-6 \text { and } y-5=x-2 \\
& \therefore 3 x-2 y+4=0 \text { and } x-y+3=0

Answer
Equation of parabola is
$
\begin{aligned}
& x^2+4 x+4 y+16=0 \\
& x^2+4 x=-4 y-16 \\
& \mathrm{x}^2+4 x+4=-4 y-12 \\

that is $x+2=0$ and $y+3=-1$
$\therefore x=-2$ and $y=-4$
$\therefore$ Focus $=(-2,-4)$

Equation of axis is $\mathrm{X}=0$ that is $x+2=0$
Equation of diretrix is $\mathrm{Y}+\mathrm{b}=0$ that is $y+3-1=0$ that is $y+2=0$
Equation of tangent at vertex is $\mathrm{Y}=0$ that is $y+3=0$

Answer
Given equation of the hyperbola is
$\frac{x^2}{5}-\frac{4 y^2}{5}=1$
$\frac{x^2}{5}-\frac{y^2}{\frac{5}{4}}=1$

$\Rightarrow \frac{ k ^2}{16}=\frac{5}{16}(9-4)$
$\Rightarrow \frac{ k ^2}{16}=\frac{5}{16}(5)$
$\Rightarrow k^2=25$
$\Rightarrow k= \pm 5$

Question 423 Marks
Find the length of the transverse axis, length of the conjugate axis, the eccentricity, the co-ordinates of foci, equations of directrices, and the length of the latus rectum of the hyperbolae.: $\frac{x^2}{25}-\frac{y^2}{16}=-1$
Answer
Given equation of the hyperbola is $\frac{x^2}{25}-\frac{y^2}{16}=-1$
$\frac{y^2}{16}-\frac{x^2}{25}=1$
Comparing this equation with $\frac{y^2}{b^2}-\frac{x^2}{a^2}=1$, we get
$b^2=16 \text { and } a^2=25$
$\Rightarrow b=4 \text { and } a=5$
Length of transverse axis $= 2b = 2(4) = 8$
Length of conjugate axis $= 2a = 2(5) = 10$
Co-ordinates of vertices are B(0, b) and B’ (0, -b)
i.e., $B(0, 4)$ and $B'(0, -4)$
We know that
$e=\frac{\sqrt{b^2+a^2}}{b}=\frac{\sqrt{16+25}}{4}=\frac{\sqrt{41}}{4}$
Co-ordinates of foci are $S(0$, be $)$ and $S^{\prime}(0,-$ be $)$,
$\text { i.e., } S\left(0,4\left(\frac{\sqrt{41}}{4}\right)\right) \text { and } S^{\prime}\left(0,-4\left(\frac{\sqrt{41}}{4}\right)\right) \text {, }$
$\text { i.e., } S(0, \sqrt{41}) \text { and } S^{\prime}(0,-\sqrt{41})$
Equations of the directrices are $y= \pm \frac{ b }{ e }$.
$y= \pm \frac{4}{\frac{\sqrt{41}}{4}}$
$y= \pm \frac{16}{\sqrt{41}}$
Length of latus-rectum $=\frac{2 a ^2}{ b }=\frac{2(25)}{4}=\frac{25}{2}$

Co-ordinates of fociare $S(a e, 0)$ and $S^{\prime}(-a e .0)$.
$\text { i.e., } S\left(5\left(\frac{\sqrt{41}}{5}\right), 0\right) \text { and } S^{\prime}\left(-5\left(\frac{\sqrt{41}}{5}\right), 0\right) \text {, }$
$\text { i.e., } S(\sqrt{41}, 0) \text { and } S^{\prime}(-\sqrt{41}, 0)$
Equations of the directrices are $x= \pm \frac{ a }{ e }$.
$x= \pm \frac{5}{\left(\frac{\sqrt{41}}{5}\right)}$
$x= \pm \frac{25}{\sqrt{41}}$

Question 443 Marks
A tangent having slope $\left(-\frac{1}{2}\right)$ to the ellipse $3 x^2+4 y^2=12$ intersects the $X$ and $Y$ axes inthe points A and B respectively. If O is the origin, find the area of the triangle AOB.
Answer
The equation of the ellipse is $3 x^2+4 y^2=12$$\frac{x^2}{4}+\frac{y^2}{3}=1$
Comparing with $\frac{x^2}{a^2}+\frac{y^2}{b^2}=1$, we get
$a^2=4, b^2=3$
The equation of tangent with slope m is
$y=m x \pm \sqrt{a^2 m^2+b^2}$
$\text { i.e., } y=m x \pm \sqrt{4 m^2+3} \quad \ldots\left[\because a^2=4, b^2=3\right]$
$\therefore y=-\frac{1}{2} x \pm \sqrt{4\left(\frac{1}{4}\right)+3} \quad \ldots\left[\because m=-\frac{1}{2}\right]$
$\therefore y=-\frac{x}{2} \pm 2$
$\therefore x+2 y \pm 4=0 \quad \ldots(1)$
It meets X axis at A
∴ for A, put y = 0 in equation (1), we get,
$x = ±4$
$\therefore A = (\pm 4, 0)$ Similarly, $B = (0, \pm 2)$
$\therefore OA = 4, OB = 2$
$\therefore \text { Area of } \triangle OAB =\frac{1}{2} \times OA \times OB$
$=\frac{1}{2} \times 4 \times 2$
$=4 sq \text {. units }$

Question 493 Marks
Find the equations of the tangents to the ellipse: $2 x^2+y^2=6$ from the point $(2,1)$
Answer
Given equation of the ellipse is $2 x^2+y^2=6$.

$\frac{x^2}{3}+\frac{y^2}{6}=1$

Comparing this equation with $\frac{x^2}{a^2}+\frac{y^2}{b^2}=1$, we get

$a^2=3$ and $b^2=6$

Equations of tangents to the ellipse $\frac{x^2}{a^2}+\frac{y^2}{b^2}=1$ having slope $\mathrm{m}$ are

$y=m x \pm \sqrt{a^2 m^2+b^2}$

Since (2, 1) lies on both the tangents,

$\begin{aligned} & 1=2 m \pm \sqrt{3 m^2+6} \\ & 1-2 m= \pm \sqrt{3 m^2+6}\end{aligned}$

Squaring both the sides, we get

$\begin{aligned} & 1-4 m+4 m^2=3 m^2+6 \\ & m^2-4 m-5=0 \\ & (m-5)(m+1)=0 \\ & m=5 \text { or } m=-1\end{aligned}$

These are the slopes of the required tangents.

By slope point form $y-y_1=m\left(x-x_1\right)$,

the equations of the tangents are

y – 1 = 5(x – 2) and y – 1 = -1(x – 2)

y – 1 = 5x – 10 and y – 1 = -x + 2

5x – y – 9 = 0 and x + y – 3 = 0

Find the equations of the tangents to the ellipse: $4 x^2+7 y^2=28$ from the point $(3,-2)$.
Answer
Given equation of the ellipse is $4 x^2+7 y^2=28$

$\frac{x^2}{7}+\frac{y^2}{4}=1$

Comparing this equation with $\frac{x^2}{\mathrm{a}^2}+\frac{y^2}{\mathrm{~b}^2}=1$, we get

$a^2=7$ and $b^2=4$

Equations of tangents to the ellipse $\frac{x^2}{a^2}+\frac{y^2}{b^2}=1$ having slope $m$ are

$y=m x \pm \sqrt{a^2 m^2+b^2}$

Since (3, -2) lies on both the tangents,

$\begin{aligned} & -2=3 m \pm \sqrt{7 m^2+4} \\ & -2-3 m= \pm \sqrt{7 m^2+4}\end{aligned}$

Squaring both the sides, we get

$\begin{aligned} & 9 m^2+12 m+4=7 m^2+4 \\ & 2 m^2+12 m=0 \\ & 2 m(m+6)=0 \\ & m=0 \text { or } m=-6\end{aligned}$

These are the slopes of the required tangents.

By slope point form y – y1 = m(x – x1),

the equations of the tangents are

y + 2 = 0(x – 3) and y + 2 = -6(x – 3)

y + 2 = 0 and y + 2 = -6x + 18

y + 2 = 0 and 6x + y – 16 = 0
