Question

If a tangent having slope 2 of the ellipse x 2 a 2 + y 2 b 2 = 1 is normal to the circle x 2 + y 2 + 4 x + 1 = 0, then the value of 4 a 2 + b 2 is equal to, 4, 2, 16, 8

MARKS App · Accepted Answer

Equation of tangent is y = 2 x ± 4 a 2 + b 2 This is normal to the circle x 2 + y 2 + 4 x + 1 = 0 This tangent passes through - 2,0 0 = - 4 ± 4 a 2 + b 2 ⇒ 4 a 2 + b 2 = 16
