Solution
The equation of asymptotes are
b
x
+
a
y
=
0
and
b
x
−
a
y
=
0
Let the point on hyperbola be
(
p
,
q
)
Perpendicular distance from the point
(
p
,
q
)
to the line
b
x
+
a
y
=
0
is
b
p

a
y
√

Perpendicular distance from point
(
p
,
q
)
to the line
b
x
−
a
y
=
0
is
b
p

√
a

The product of distances will be
b

−
a

a
2
+
b

The point
(
p
,
q
)
lie on hyperbola , so by substituting we get
b
