Hyperbola in conic sections
Question

 If α+β=π then the chord joining the points α and β for  the hyperbola x2a2y2b2=1 passes through 

Moderate
Solution

 Points on hyperbola P(asecα,btanα) and Q(asecβ,btanβ)

β=πα

 Q(asec(πα),btan(πα)) or Q(asecα,btanα)

Clearly points P and Q are symmetric about origin. Hence chord joining P and Q passes through origin.
