If PQ is a double ordinate of the hyperbola 16x2−25y2=400 be produced on both sides to meet the asymptotes at R and S, then PR⋅PS=
Given hyperbola is 16x2−25y2=400
⇒x225−y216=1
Let P(asecθ,btanθ) be a point on hyperbola
⇒Q(asecθ,−btanθ) (Image of P with respect to x -axis)
Equation of PQ is x=asecθ
It intersects with asymptotes x2a2−y2b2=0
⇒y=±bsecθ
So, R(asecθ,bsecθ),S(asecθ,−bsecθ)∴PR⋅PS=b2sec2θ−tan2θ=b2=16
