If x=a(t−1t)x = a\left(t - \frac{1}{t}\right), y=b(t+1t)y = b\left(t + \frac{1}{t}\right), then dydx=\frac{dy}{dx} =

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

xa=t−1t\frac{x}{a} = t - \frac{1}{t} and yb=t+1t\frac{y}{b} = t + \frac{1}{t}. So (yb)2−(xa)2=4\left(\frac{y}{b}\right)^2 - \left(\frac{x}{a}\right)^2 = 4. Differentiating: 2yb2dydx−2xa2=0\frac{2y}{b^2}\frac{dy}{dx} - \frac{2x}{a^2} = 0, giving dydx=b2xa2y\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{b^2 x}{a^2 y}.
