For the hyperbola $$\frac{{{x^2}}}{{{{\cos }^2}\alpha }} - \frac{{{y^2}}}{{{{\sin }^2}\alpha }} = 1,$$ which of the following remains constant when $$\alpha $$ varies?
2.
The foci of the ellipse $$\frac{{{x^2}}}{{16}} + \frac{{{y^2}}}{{{b^2}}} = 1$$ and the hyperbola $$\frac{{{x^2}}}{{144}} - \frac{{{y^2}}}{{81}} = \frac{1}{{25}}$$ coincide. Then the value of $${b^2}$$ is :
For the ellipse, $${a^2} = 16;\,\,{b^2} = {a^2}\left( {1 - {e^2}} \right)$$
$$ \Rightarrow e = \frac{{\sqrt {16 - {b^2}} }}{4}\,\,\,\, \Rightarrow ae = \sqrt {{{16}^2} - {b^2}} $$
For the hyperbola, $${a^2} = \frac{{144}}{{25}},\,\,{b^2} = \frac{{81}}{{25}};\,\,{b^2} = {a^2}\left( {{e^2} - 1} \right) \Rightarrow e = \frac{5}{4} \Rightarrow ae = 3$$
$$\therefore \,\,\,\sqrt {16 - {b^2}} = 3$$

The normal to a curve at $$P\left( {x,\,y} \right)$$ meets the $$x$$-axis at $$G.$$ If the distance of $$G$$ from the origin is twice the abscissa of $$P,$$ then the curve is a :
Equation of normal at $$P\left( {x,\,y} \right)$$ is $$Y - y = - \frac{{dx}}{{dy}}\left( {X - x} \right)$$
Coordinate of $$G$$ at $$X$$ axis is $$\left( {X,\,0} \right)$$ (let)
$$\eqalign{
& \therefore 0 - y = - \frac{{dx}}{{dy}}\left( {X - x} \right) \cr
& \Rightarrow y\frac{{dy}}{{dx}} = X - x \cr
& \Rightarrow X = x + y\frac{{dy}}{{dx}} \cr} $$
$$\therefore $$ Co-ordinate of $$G\,\,\left( {x + y\frac{{dy}}{{dx}},\,0} \right)$$
Given distance of $$G$$ from origin $$=$$ twice of the abscissa of $$P.$$
$$\because $$ Distance cannot be $$-ve,$$ therefore abscissa $$x$$ should
be $$+ve$$
$$\eqalign{
& \therefore x + y\frac{{dy}}{{dx}} = 2x \cr
& \Rightarrow y\frac{{dy}}{{dx}} = x \cr
& \Rightarrow ydy = xdx \cr} $$
On Integrating $$ \Rightarrow \frac{{{y^2}}}{2} = \frac{{{x^2}}}{2} + {c_1}\,\, \Rightarrow {x^2} - {y^2} = - 2{c_1}$$
$$\therefore $$ The curve is a hyperbola.

If the line $$y = mx + \sqrt {{a^2}{m^2} - {b^2}} $$ touches the
hyperbola $$\frac{{{x^2}}}{{{a^2}}} - \frac{{{y^2}}}{{{b^2}}} = 1$$ at the point $$\varphi .$$ Then $$\varphi = \,?$$
A.
$${\sin ^{ - 1}}\left( m \right)$$
B.
$${\sin ^{ - 1}}\left( {\frac{a}{{bm}}} \right)$$
C.
$${\sin ^{ - 1}}\left( {\frac{b}{{am}}} \right)$$
D.
$${\sin ^{ - 1}}\left( {\frac{{bm}}{a}} \right)$$
5.
The hyperbola $$\frac{{{x^2}}}{{{a^2}}} - \frac{{{y^2}}}{{{b^2}}} = 1$$ passes through the point $$\left( {2,\,3} \right)$$ and has the eccentricity $$2$$. Then the transverse axis of the hyperbola has the length :
6.
Tangents are drawn to the hyperbola $$4{x^2} - {y^2} = 36$$ at the points $$P$$ and $$Q.$$ If these tangents intersect at the point $$T\left( {0,\,3} \right)$$ then the area (in square units) of $$\Delta PTQ$$ is :
Here equation of hyperbola is $$\frac{{{x^2}}}{9} - \frac{{{y^2}}}{{36}} = 1$$
Now, $$PQ$$ is the chord of content
$$\therefore $$ Equation of $$PQ$$ is :
$$\eqalign{
& \frac{{x\left( 0 \right)}}{9} - \frac{{y\left( 3 \right)}}{{36}} = 1 \cr
& \Rightarrow y = - 12 \cr} $$
Since, $$lx + my + n = 0$$ is a normal to $$\frac{{{x^2}}}{{{a^2}}} - \frac{{{y^2}}}{{{b^2}}} = 1,$$ then $$\frac{{{a^2}}}{{{l^2}}} - \frac{{{b^2}}}{{{m^2}}} = \frac{{{{\left( {{a^2} + {b^2}} \right)}^2}}}{{{n^2}}}$$ but it is given that $$mx - y + 7\sqrt 3 $$ is normal to hyperbola $$\frac{{{x^2}}}{{24}} - \frac{{{y^2}}}{{18}} = 1$$ then $$\frac{{24}}{{{m^2}}} - \frac{{18}}{{{{\left( { - 1} \right)}^2}}} = \frac{{{{\left( {24 + 18} \right)}^2}}}{{{{\left( {7\sqrt 3 } \right)}^2}}}\,\, \Rightarrow m = \frac{2}{{\sqrt 5 }}$$

Let $$P\left( {a\,\sec \,\theta ,\,b\,\tan \,\theta } \right)$$ and $$Q\left( {a\,\sec \,\phi ,\,b\,\tan \,\phi } \right),$$ where $$\theta + \phi = \frac{\pi }{2},$$ be two points on the hyperbola $$\frac{{{x^2}}}{{{a^2}}} - \frac{{{y^2}}}{{{b^2}}} = 1.$$ If $$\left( {h,\,k} \right)$$ is the point of intersection of the normal at $$P$$ and $$Q,$$ then $$k$$ is equal to :
A.
$$\frac{{{a^2} + {b^2}}}{a}$$
B.
$$ - \left( {\frac{{{a^2} + {b^2}}}{a}} \right)$$
C.
$$\frac{{{a^2} + {b^2}}}{b}$$
D.
$$ - \left( {\frac{{{a^2} + {b^2}}}{b}} \right)$$
KEY CONCEPT :
Equation of the normal to the hyperbola $$\frac{{{x^2}}}{{{a^2}}} - \frac{{{y^2}}}{{{b^2}}} = 1$$ at the point $$\left( {a\,\sec \,\alpha ,\,b\,\tan \,\alpha } \right)$$ is given by $$ax\,\cos \,\alpha + by\,\cot \,\alpha = {a^2} + {b^2}$$
Normal at $$\theta ,\,\phi $$ are \[\left\{ \begin{array}{l}
ax\,\cos \,\theta + by\,\cot \,\theta = {a^2} + {b^2}\\
ax\,\cos \,\theta + by\,\cot \,\phi = {a^2} + {b^2}
\end{array} \right.\]
where $$\phi = \frac{\pi }{2} - \theta $$ and these pass through $$\left( {h,\,k} \right)$$
$$\eqalign{
& \therefore ah\,\cos \,\theta + bk\,\cot \,\theta = {a^2} + {b^2} \cr
& \,\,\,\,ah\,\sin \,\theta + bk\,\tan \,\theta = {a^2} + {b^2} \cr} $$
Eliminating $$h,\,bk\left( {\cot \,\theta \,\sin \,\theta - \tan \,\theta \cos \,\theta } \right)$$
$$ = \left( {{a^2} + {b^2}} \right)\left( {\sin \,\theta - \cos \,\theta } \right)\,\,\,\,{\text{or }}\,k = - \frac{{\left( {{a^2} + {b^2}} \right)}}{b}$$
