Given: x2a2−y2b2=1
Slope of tangent isdydx:
Differentiating w.r.t. x,
2xa2−2yb2.dydx=0
⇒−yb2.dydx=−xa2
⇒dydx=b2a2(xy)
Slope of tangent at (x0,y0) is dydx∣∣∣(x0,y0)=b2a2(x0y0)
We know that,
Slope of tangent×Slope of normal=−1
Slope of normal =−a2b2(y0x0)
Equation of tangent at (x0,y0) & having slope b2a2(x0y0)
(y−y0)=b2a2(x0y0)(x−x0)
⇒y0 y−y20b2=(x0x−x20)a2
⇒x0 xa2−y0 yb2=x20a2−y20b2
Since point (x0,y0) lie on the curve.
∴ it will satisfy the equation of curve x20a2−y20b2=1
Now, the equation of tangent becomes
⇒x0xa2−y0yb2=1
Equation of normal at (x0,y0) & having slope−a2b2(y0x0) is (y−y0)=−a2b2(y0x0)(x−x0)
⇒(y−y0)a2y0=−(x−x0)b2x0
⇒(y−y0)a2y0+(x−x0)b2x0=0
Hence, the equation of tangent is xx0a2−yy0b2=1 and equation of normal is y−y0a2y0+x−a0b2x0=0
