Find the asymptotes of the curve `x y-3y-2x=0`. |
|
Answer» Correct Answer - `x-3=0 and y-2=0` Since the equation of a hyperbola and its asymptotes differ in constant terms only, the pair of asymptotes is given by `xy-3y-2x+lambda=0" (1)"` where `lambda` is any constant such that it represents two straight lines. Hence, `abc+2fgh-af^(2)-bg^(2)-ch^(2)=0` `"or "0+2xx(-(3)/(2))xx(-1)xx((1)/(2))-0-0-lamda((1)/(2))^(2)=0` `"or "lambda=6` From (1), the asymptotes of the given hyperbola are given by `xy-3y-2x+6=0` `" "(y-2)(x-3)=0` Therefore, the asymptotes are `x-3=0 and y-2=0.` |
