The correct answer is: 57

Given,

Equation of hyperbola x2-y2=1

Now parametric point is given by asecθ,btanθ2,1 as given θ=45° & a=b=1

Now finding slope of tangent at the given point by differentiating the curve we get,

 2x-2ydydx=0

dydx2,1=21

So, slope of normal will be -2,

Now equation of normal will be y=-x2+2

Since normal is intersecting the curve again so,

x2--x2+22=1

x2+42x-10=0

x=2 or -52

So, y=7 for x=-52

Now we know that x=secθ=-52

And y=tanθ=7,

So, the value of sec2θ+tanθ=50+7=57
