Question:

The foci of a hyperbola coincide with the foci of the ellipse $\frac{x^{2}}{25} + \frac{y^{2}}{9} = 1 $ If the eccentricity of the hyperbola is 2, then the equation of the tangent to this hyperbola passing through the point (4, 6) is :

Hyperbola

Hyperbola is the locus of all the points in a plane such that the difference in their distances from two fixed points in the plane is constant.

Hyperbola is made up of two similar curves that resemble a parabola. Hyperbola has two fixed points which can be shown in the picture, are known as foci or focus. When we join the foci or focus using a line segment then its midpoint gives us centre. Hence, this line segment is known as the transverse axis.
