The equation of tangents to the hyperbola 3x2 - 2y2 = 6, which is perpendicular to the line x - 3y = 3, are

  • y = - 3x ± 15

  • y = 3x ± 6

  • y = - 3x ± 6

  • y = 2x ± 15


A.

y = - 3x ± 15

Given, equation of hyperbola is,

    3x2 - 2y2 = 6

 x22 - y23 = 1

On comparing with x2a2 - y2b2 = 1, we get

                     a2 = 2 and b2 = 3

Given, equation of line is x - 3y = 3

 Slope of given line = 13

Slope of line perpendicular to given line, m = - 3

Now, the equation of tangents are

y = mx ± a2m2 - b2   = - 3x ± 2 × 9 - 3   = - 3x ± 18 - 3   = - 3x ± 15
