Question
If any tangent to the ellipse intercepts equal lengths on the axes, then =
-
- a2 + b2
- (a2 + b2)2
- None of these
Hint:
find out the equation of tangent of ellipse in slope form. find the x and y intercepts and equate them
The correct answer is:
Tangent to the ellipse : y= mx + √a2m2+b2
x intercept = -( √a2m2+b2 )/m
y intercept = √a2m2+b2
according to the problem,
√a2m2+b2 = -( √a2m2+b2 )/m
=> m=-1
Intercept = √a2+b2
x intercept is the x coordinate at which the curve cuts the x axis and similarly for y intercept, the y axis is considered.
