Let a tangent be drawn to the ellipse x²/27 + y²/1 = 1 at (3√3 cosθ, sinθ) where θ ∈ (0, π/2). Then the value of θ such that the sum of intercepts on axes made by this tangent is minimum is equal to :
Let a tangent be drawn to the ellipse x²/27 + y²/1 = 1 at (3√3 cosθ, sinθ) where θ ∈ (0, π/2). Then the value of θ such that the sum of intercepts on axes made by this tangent is minimum is equal to :
The equation of the tangent to the ellipse x²/27 + y² = 1 at the point (3√3 cosθ, sinθ) is:
x (3√3 cosθ)/27 + y (sinθ)/1 = 1 ⇒ x/ (3√3) cosθ + y sinθ = 1.
To find the intercepts on the axes:
x-intercept (set y=0): x = 3√3 / cosθ = 3√3 secθ.
y-intercept (set x=0): y = 1 / sinθ = cosecθ.
The sum of the int
