The correct answer is:
\( 3 x^{2}+4 y^{2}-2 x-8 y+4=0 \)
Any point on the hyperbola is (sec , tan ).
Then tangent at (sec , tan ) to is
this will also be a tangent to if radius = length of perpendicular from (0,0) to the equation (1)
or
or
or
or
putting for θ in (1), the common tangents are ,
is nearer to than
the ellipse has the following focus
corresponding directrix is x -1 = 0 and
by focus - directirx property, the equation of the ellipse is
or 3x2 + 4y2 - 2x - 8y + 4 = 0
