 Distance between the foci = 2ae = 2 × 4 × 
= 2√7

Test: Conic Sections (23 July) - Question 6

Which of the following points lies on the locus of the foot of perpendicular drawn upon any tangent to the ellipse,  from any of its foci?

Detailed Solution for Test: Conic Sections (23 July) - Question 6

Let the foot of perpendicular be (h, k).




This line passes through (h, k).
(k - mh)2 = 4m2 + 2 …(1)
Line perpendicular to tangent will have slope (-1/m).

my = -x + 
(h + mk)2 = 2 …(2)
Adding equations (1) and (2):
k2(1 + m2) + h2(1 + m2) = 4(1 + m2)
h2 + k2 = 4
x2 + y2 = 4 (Auxiliary circle)
(-1, ) lies on the locus.

Test: Conic Sections (23 July) - Question 12

Let a line L1 be tangent to the hyperbola  = 1 and let L2 be the line passing through the origin and perpendicular to L1. If the locus of the point of intersection of L1 and L2 is (x2 + y2)2 = αx2 + βy2, then α + β is equal to _____.


Detailed Solution for Test: Conic Sections (23 July) - Question 12

The equation of L1 is:
 ...(i)
The equation of line L2 is:
 ...(ii)
∵ The required point of intersection of L1 and L2 is (x1, y1).
Then,
 ...(iii)
and  ...(iv)
From equations (iii) and (iv),
secθ =  and tanθ = 
∴ The required locus of (x1, y1) is:
(x2 + y2)2 = 16x2 - 4y2
∴ α = 16, β = -4
∴ α + β = 12
