Vedclass · Answer

(D) The foci of the hyperbola $\frac{x^2}{a^2}-\frac{y^2}{b^2}=1$ are $(\pm ae, 0)$,where $e^2 = 1 + \frac{b^2}{a^2}$,so $a^2e^2 = a^2+b^2$.The circle described on the line joining the foci as diameter is $(x-ae)(x+ae) + y^2 = 0$,which simplifies to $x^2 + y^2 = a^2e^2 = a^2+b^2$.Let the point be $P(x_1, y_1)$. The equation of the chord of contact is $\frac{xx_1}{a^2} - \frac{yy_1}{b^2} = 1$,or $b^2x_1x - a^2y_1y - a^2b^2 = 0$.This line touches the circle $x^2 + y^2 = a^2+b^2$ if the perpendicular distance from the center $(0,0)$ to the line equals the radius $\sqrt{a^2+b^2}$.$\frac{|-a^2b^2|}{\sqrt{(b^2x_1)^2 + (-a^2y_1)^2}} = \sqrt{a^2+b^2}$.Squaring both sides: $\frac{a^4b^4}{b^4x_1^2 + a^4y_1^2} = a^2+b^2$.Rearranging gives $b^4x_1^2 + a^4y_1^2 = \frac{a^4b^4}{a^2+b^2}$.Dividing by $a^4b^4$,we get $\frac{x_1^2}{a^4} + \frac{y_1^2}{b^4} = \frac{1}{a^2+b^2}$.Replacing $(x_1, y_1)$ with $(x, y)$,the locus is $\frac{x^2}{a^4} + \frac{y^2}{b^4} = \frac{1}{a^2+b^2}$.

The locus of a point whose chord of contact with respect to the hyperbola $\frac{x^2}{a^2}-\frac{y^2}{b^2}=1$ touches the circle described on the straight line joining the foci of the hyperbola $\frac{x^2}{a^2}-\frac{y^2}{b^2}=1$ as diameter is
