Question
If 2x - y + 1 = 0 is a tangent to the hyperbola , then which of the following CANNOT be sides of a right angled triangle ?
Options
A.
2a, 4, 1
B.
2a, 8, 1
C.
a, 4, 1
D.
a, 4, 2
Solution
Tangent to =1 is
y =mx
Comparing with y = 2x + 1
m = 2
4a2 - 16 = 1
a2 =
a =
Only 2a, 4, 1 are sides of a right-angled triangle
