P And Q are two variable points on the rectangular hyperbola
x y = c 2 such that the tangent at Q passes through the foot of
ordinate of P . if the locus of point of intersection of tangents at P And
Q is the hyperbola x y = k c 2 . Find the value of 9 k .
Clarification- Foot of ordinate means foot of perpendicular from the point to the x -axis.

Let Q ( c t 1 , t 1 c ) and P ( c t 2 , t 2 c ) .
Tangent at Q is given by 2 c t 1 x + t 1 2 c y = 1 Tangent at P is given by 2 c t 2 x + t 2 2 c y = 1 It now follows, from the first equation and the statement of the question, that t 2 = 2 t 1 .
Now, eliminating t 1 and t 2 from the an above three equations, the required locus comes out to be x y = 9 8 c 2 ⇒ 9 k = 8
