Let (α,β)\left( {\mathrm{\alpha },\mathrm{\beta }} \right) be a point from which two perpendicular tangents can be drawn to the ellipse 4x2+5y2=20.4{x^2} + 5{y^2} = 20. If F=4α+3βF = 4\mathrm{\alpha } + 3\mathrm{\beta }, then
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
−15≤F≤15- 15 \le F \le 15
Option A (−15≤F≤15- 15 \le F \le 15) is correct because the point (α,β)(\alpha, \beta) lies on the director circle of the ellipse, and by expressing α\alpha and β\beta in terms of trigonometric functions, we can find the range of FF.
