Question:
If the line $y=m x+c$ is a common tangent to
the hyperbola $\frac{x^{2}}{100}-\frac{y^{2}}{64}=1$ and the circle
$x^{2}+y^{2}=36$, then which one of the following is true?
Correct Option: , 2
Solution:
$\mathrm{y}=\mathrm{m} \mathrm{x}+\mathrm{c}$ is tangent to
$\frac{x^{2}}{100}-\frac{y^{2}}{64}=1$ and $x^{2}+y^{2}=36$
$c^{2}=100 m^{2}-64 \mid c^{2}=36\left(1+m^{2}\right)$
$\Rightarrow 100 \mathrm{~m}^{2}-64=36+36 \mathrm{~m}^{2}$
$\mathrm{m}^{2}=\frac{100}{64} \Rightarrow \mathrm{m}=\pm \frac{10}{8}$
$c^{2}=36\left(1+\frac{100}{64}\right)=\frac{36 \times 164}{64}$
$4 \mathrm{c}^{2}=369$
