(A, B, C are correct ) Hint: (A) y2=20x=4(5)x∴ Tangent :y=mx+ma for m=1,a=5∴y=x+5 is a tangent to y2=20x (B) 9x2+16y2=144c2=a2m2+b2y=x+5⇒m=1;c=5⇒16x2+9y2=1∴52=16(1)2+9⇒ True ∴y=x+5 is a tangent to 9x2+16y2=144 (C) c2=a2m2−b229x2−4y2=1→a2=29;b2=452=29(1)2−4→ True ∴y=x+5 is a tangent (D)
∴y=x+5 is NOT tangent to x2+y2=25 (A), (B), (C) are correct.
