The locus of the point of intersection of the tangents at the end points of the focal chord of an ellipse x2a2+y2b2=1,  (b<a)\frac{{{x^2}}}{{{a^2}}} + \frac{{{y^2}}}{{{b^2}}} = 1,\;(b < a) is
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
x=±a2a2−b2x = \pm \frac{{{a^2}}}{{\sqrt {{a^2} - {b^2}} }}
Option A (x=±a2a2−b2x = \pm \frac{{{a^2}}}{{\sqrt {{a^2} - {b^2}} }}) is correct because the locus of the intersection of tangents at the endpoints of a focal chord is the directrix of the ellipse.
