e q . o f n o r m a l i s :

y = - \frac{k x}{h} + 2 k \dots . (i)

h y p e r b o l a : \frac{x^{2}}{a^{2}} - \frac{y^{2}}{b^{2}} = 1

\Rightarrow \frac{d y}{d x} ∣_{x_{1}, y_{1}} = \frac{b^{2}}{a^{2}} (\frac{x_{1}}{y_{1}})

e q . o f n o r m a l :

y = - \frac{a^{2} y_{1}}{b^{2} x_{1}} (x - x_{1}) + y_{1}

\Rightarrow y = - (\frac{a^{2} y_{1}}{b^{2} x_{1}}) x + y_{1} (1 + \frac{a^{2}}{b^{2}}) . . (i i)

c o m p a r i n g (i) & (i i)

\frac{k}{h} = \frac{a^{2} y_{1}}{b^{2} x_{1}} & 2 k = y_{1} (1 + \frac{a^{2}}{b^{2}})

a l s o \frac{x_{1}^{2}}{a^{2}} = 1 + \frac{y_{1}^{2}}{b^{2}}

\Rightarrow \frac{k^{2}}{h^{2}} = \frac{a^{4}}{b^{4}} \times \frac{y_{1}^{2}}{a^{2} (1 + \frac{y_{1}^{2}}{b^{2}})}

\frac{k^{2}}{h^{2}} = \frac{a^{2}}{b^{2}} \times \frac{1}{(\frac{b^{2}}{y_{1}^{2}} + 1)}

\Rightarrow \frac{k^{2}}{h^{2}} = \frac{a^{2}}{b^{2}} \times \frac{1}{[\frac{{(a^{2} + b^{2})}^{2}}{4 b^{2} k^{2}} + 1]}

\Rightarrow \frac{k^{2}}{h^{2}} = \frac{a^{2}}{b^{2}} \times \frac{4 b^{2} k^{2}}{[{(a^{2} + b^{2})}^{2} + 4 b^{2} k^{2}]}

\Rightarrow 4 b^{2} k^{2} + {(a^{2} + b^{2})}^{2} = 4 a^{2} h^{2}

4 (a^{2} x^{2} - b^{2} y^{2}) = {(a^{2} + b^{2})}^{2} .
