Hello all,
I would like beforehand to inform you that the translation of the following geometric problem is not very good and consequently you will have to use your mathematical intuition just a little bit. I encountered it while giving admission exams in a Mathematics department to pursue a second degree.
I don't have a mathematical background so any help appreciated.
"Find the locus of points from which the conducted tangents at a given isosceles hyperbola are vertical to each other"
Can you assume that the locus contains just one point (which is the origin of the axes) and the tangents touch the curve at infinity ?
I apologize for my English ...
