According to the length of two tangents drawn at a point outside the circle and the definition of hyperbola, we can get.
|PF 1|-|PF2|=2a。
Because | nf1| | nf2 | = | pf1| | pf2 | = 2a. ①
|NF 1|+|NF2|=2c。 ②
| nf 1 | = = a+c from ① ②.
∴|on|=|nf 1|-|of 1|=a+c-c=a=3.
Therefore, the coordinate of the tangent point n is (3,0).
According to symmetry, when p is on the left branch of hyperbola, the coordinate of the tangent point n is (-3,0).
(2)a=3,b=2
So c=√ 13.
Might as well set pf1> PF2
Let pf 1 = m and pf2 = n.
It is defined by hyperbola.
m-n=2a=6
mn=32
So (m-n) 2 = m 2+n 2-2mn = 36.
m^2+n^2= 100
F 1F2=2c=2√ 13
So in the triangle PF 1F2
Cos angle f1pf 2 = (m2+N2-f1F2)/2mn.
=( 100-52)/64
=3/4
So the angle f1pf 2 = arccos 3/4 = 41.41degree.
