Detailed Solution

Given ellipse is x2+2y2=3 and point=(1,2)

The equation of pair of tangents to the ellipse is S12=S.S11
Question Image
xx1+2yy132=x2+2y23x12+2y123
At point (1, 2)
(x+4y3)2=x2+2y23(1+83)x2+16y2+9+8xy24y6x=6x2+12y285x28xy4y2+6x+24y27=0
Represents pairs of tangents

If θ is angle between these tangents then
tanθ=2h2aba+b=2165(4)1=2×6=12θ=tan1(12)
