The angle between the tangents from (–2, –1) to the hyperbola 2x2 – 3y2 = 6 is-
A
tan–1(2)
B
C
tan–1 
D
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
= 1; y + 1 = m (x + 2) or y = mx + (2m – 1) touches the hyperbola
if “c 2 = a 2 m 2 – b 2 ” if (2m – 1) 2 = 3m 2 – 2
(i.e.) if m 2 – 4m + 3 = 0 giving m = 1 and 3.
tan θ = 
= 
⇒ θ = tan –1
