If P is any point on the hyperbola whose axis are equal, prove that SP.S’P = CP2
Given: Axis of the hyperbola are equal, i.e. a = b
To prove: SP.S’P = CP2
Formula used:
The standard form of the equation of the hyperbola is,
Foci of the hyperbola are given by (±ae, 0)
Let P (m, n) be any point on the hyperbola
The distance between two points (m, n) and (a, b) is given by
C is Centre with coordinates (0, 0)
Now,
{∵ a2 = m2 – n2}
From (i):
Taking square root both sides:
Hence Proved
