Hyperbola in conic sections
Question

 The absolute value of slope of common tangents to  parabola y2=8x and hyperbola 3x2y2=3 is 

Moderate
Solution

 Tangent to y2=8xy=mx+2m  1 since y=mx+am  

given hyperbola equation is x21-y23=1

 Tangent to x21-y23=1 is y=mx±m23  →2      since y=mx±a2m2-b2

 1, 2 represents same line .

  2m=m2-34 =m2m2-3m=±2
