    Find the equation of axis of the given hyperbola \[\frac{{{x}^{2}}}{3}-\frac{{{y}^{2}}}{2}=1\] which is equally inclined to the axes [DCE 2005]

    A)            \[y=x+1\]                                   

    B)            \[y=x-1\]

    C)            \[y=x+2\]                                  

    D)            \[y=x-2\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                      \[\frac{{{x}^{2}}}{3}-\frac{{{y}^{2}}}{2}=1\]                    \[\because \] Equation of tangent are equally inclined to the axis i.e., \[\tan \theta =1=m\].                    \ Eq. of tangent \[y=mx+\sqrt{{{a}^{2}}{{m}^{2}}-{{b}^{2}}}\]                    Given eq. \[\frac{{{x}^{2}}}{3}-\frac{{{y}^{2}}}{2}=1\] is a eq. of hyperbola which is of form \[\frac{{{x}^{2}}}{{{a}^{2}}}-\frac{{{y}^{2}}}{{{b}^{2}}}=1\]. Now, on comparing \[{{a}^{2}}=3\], \[{{b}^{2}}=2\]                    \ \[y=1.x+\sqrt{3\times {{(1)}^{2}}-2}\] Þ \[y=x+1\].
