Question

Find the vertices, eccentricity, foc and asymptotes of the hyperbola x2/8y2/4=1x^2/8-y^2/4=1. Also trace it. Under what condition on \succ the line x+y=2x+\succ y=2 will be tangent to this hyperbola? Explain geometrically

Solution


x28y24=1\frac{x^2}{8} - \frac{y^2}{4} = 1


Rewrite in the form of aa standard hyperbola equation


(x0)2(22)2(y0)222=1\frac{(x - 0)^2}{(2\sqrt{2})^2} - \frac{(y - 0)^2}{2^2} = 1(h,k)=(0,0),a=22,b=2\therefore (h, k) = (0, 0), \, a = 2\sqrt{2}, \, b = 2Vertices=(0,0)\text{Vertices} = (0, 0)


The eccentricity =ea2+b2a= e \frac{\sqrt{a^2 + b^2}}{a}

e=(22)2+2222=32e = \frac{\sqrt{(2\sqrt{2})^2 + 2^2}}{2\sqrt{2}} = \sqrt{\frac{3}{2}}


For right-left hyperbola the asymptotes are y=±ba(xh)+ky = \pm \frac{b}{a} (x - h) + k

y=222(x0)+0,y=222(x0)+0y = \frac{2}{2\sqrt{2}} (x - 0) + 0, \quad y = -\frac{2}{2\sqrt{2}} (x - 0) + 0y=x2,y=x2y = \frac{x}{\sqrt{2}}, \quad y = -\frac{x}{\sqrt{2}}


The Foci are (h+c,k),(hc,k)(h + c, k), (h - c, k), where c=a2+b2c = \sqrt{a^2 + b^2}

c=(22)2+22=23c = \sqrt{(2\sqrt{2})^2 + 2^2} = 2\sqrt{3}


Then, foci =(0+23,0),(023,0)= (0 + 2\sqrt{3}, 0), (0 - 2\sqrt{3}, 0)

=(23,0),(23,0)= (2\sqrt{3}, 0), (-2\sqrt{3}, 0)


Slope of tangent to curve =dydx= \frac{dy}{dx}

On differentiating,


x28y24=1(i)\frac{x^2}{8} - \frac{y^2}{4} = 1 \dots (i)2x82y4dydx=0\frac{2x}{8} - \frac{2y}{4} \frac{dy}{dx} = 0dydx=2x82y4=x2y\frac{dy}{dx} = -\frac{\frac{2x}{8}}{-\frac{2y}{4}} = \frac{x}{2y}


From (i), y=±4(x281)y = \pm \sqrt{4\left(\frac{x^2}{8} - 1\right)}

y=±x224y = \pm \sqrt{\frac{x^2}{2} - 4}


so, dydx=x±2x224\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{x}{\pm 2\sqrt{\frac{x^2}{2} - 4}}

Given line: x+λy=2x + \lambda y = 2

y=xλ+2λy = \frac{-x}{\lambda} + \frac{2}{\lambda}


Slope =1λ= \frac{-1}{\lambda}

We get,


x±2x224=1λ\frac{x}{\pm 2\sqrt{\frac{x^2}{2} - 4}} = \frac{-1}{\lambda}


Thus, λ=2x224x\lambda = \mp \frac{2\sqrt{\frac{x^2}{2} - 4}}{x}

Applying these elements and tracing the hyperbola, we get following graph:
