Do 2 branches of hyperbola have common tangent?

Today I learned that the two branches of the standard hyperbola x2a2−y2b2=1 have no common tangents, but have only one common normal (y=0).

How many tangents can be drawn from a point to parabola?

Drawing some pictures may give you a hint of the likely answers, but the answer is two tangents and one normal if the point is ‘outside’ the parabola, and three normals if the point is ‘inside’ the parabola.

How many tangents are possible to be drawn from any external point to a circle and what is the relation between them?

two
The answer is two, and the following theorem proves this fact. Theorem: Exactly two tangents can be drawn from an exterior point to a given circle.

How many tangents are drawn from a point?

Hint: Only one tangent can be drawn to a circle from a point on the same circle, we will prove this by constructing a line perpendicular to the radius and will prove that all other points of the line lie exterior of the circle and hence touches the circle at a single point.

How many tangents can be drawn to hyperbola?

Thus, two real tangents to the hyperbola can be drawn from any point only if that point lies outside the hyperbola. If a point lies on a hyperbola, only one tangent can be drawn (basically, coincident tangents) at the same point, while for any point inside the hyperbola, tangents cannot be drawn to the hyperbola.

Does hyperbola have common tangent?

For a tangent the line must intersect at exactly one point, i.e. there must be only one solution for x i.e. Hence 2 solutions, thus from a point one can draw 2 tangents to a hyperbola with the above slopes. Do you mean “maximum number of common tangents”? If so, the answer is 1.

How many tangents can be drawn from two disjoint circles?

There can be four common tangents to two circles. The tangents can be either direct or transverse. When the two circles neither intersect nor touch each other, there are four common tangents. But when they intersect there are two common tangents, both of them being direct.

How many tangents can be drawn outside?

two tangent lines
No tangent line can be drawn through a point within a circle, since any such line must be a secant line. However, two tangent lines can be drawn to a circle from a point P outside of the circle.

How many tangents can be drawn from the point inside the circle?

No tangent line can be drawn through a point within a circle, since any such line must be a secant line. However, two tangent lines can be drawn to a circle from a point P outside of the circle.
