tangents are drawn from ( a ,b ) to the hyperbola     making angles A and B with the transverse axis. if tanA tanB = 2 , then  is


give the answer in terms of a

hyp is x2/2 - y2/3 = 1


tangent to hyp, Ty=mx + root(a2m2-b2)


y=mx + root(2m2-3)


this passes through (a, b)


So, b=am + root(2m2-3)


or a2m2 + b2 - 2abm = 2m2 - 3


solving, m1m2 = (b2+3)/(a2-2) = tanAtanB = 2


b2=2a2 - 7
