Hyperbola in conic sections
Question

 If distance between two parallel tangents having slope m drawn to the hyperbola x29y249=1 is 2 then the value  of |m| is 

Moderate
Solution

Tangents to hyperbola having slope m are

y=mx±9m249 Distance between tangents is 2 .  29m2491+m2=2 9m249=1+m2 8m2=50 m=±52
