Q.

The locus of the foot of the perpendicular drawn from a focus onto a tangent to the hyperbola is the auxiliary circle. Consider the hyperbola whose foci are (5, 6) and (-3, -2). The foot of the perpendicular from the focus upon a tangent is the point (2, 5). Then the directrix of  the hyperbola corresponding focus (5, 6) is  ax+by+c=0 then the value of  |a+b+c|=

Detailed Solution

Let the corresponding directrix be  x+y=λ (because the directrix is perpendicular to transverse axis), the distance of this from the centre is a/e
 |1+2λ2|=10×54=522
 λ=3+52=112
Therefore, the directrix equation is  2x+2y11=0
 |a+b+c|=2+211=7
