Correct answer: 7

  1. Given hyperbola and its foci

The hyperbola is

x2100−y264=1.\frac{x^2}{100}-\frac{y^2}{64}=1.100x2​−64y2​=1.

So

Hence the foci are

Let

which is the standard parametrization for the first quadrant point on the hyperbola.


  1. Tangent slope at PPP

Differentiate x2100−y264=1\frac{x^2}{100}-\frac{y^2}{64}=1100x2​−64y2​=1 to get

so

At P=(10sec⁡θ,8tan⁡θ)P=(10\sec\theta,8\tan\theta)P=(10secθ,8tanθ),

=45⋅sec⁡θtan⁡θ=45csc⁡θ.=\frac45\cdot\frac{\sec\theta}{\tan\theta} =\frac45\csc\theta.=54​⋅tanθsecθ​=54​cscθ.

Thus the required line through S=(c,0)S=(c,0)S=(c,0) is y=m(x−c).y=m(x-c).y=m(x−c). Call this line SP1SP_1SP1​.


  1. Distance δ\deltaδ from PPP to line SP1SP_1SP1​

Equation of line SP1SP_1SP1​: y−mx+mc=0.y-mx+mc=0.y−mx+mc=0. Distance from P=(xP,yP)P=(x_P,y_P)P=(xP​,yP​) to this line is

Now

Compute:

=8 csc⁡θsec⁡θ,=8\,\csc\theta\sec\theta,=8cscθsecθ,

But

tan⁡θ=sin⁡θcos⁡θ,\qquad \tan\theta=\frac{\sin\theta}{\cos\theta},tanθ=cosθsinθ​,

so

=sin⁡θcos⁡θ−1sin⁡θcos⁡θ=sin⁡2θ−1sin⁡θcos⁡θ=−cos⁡θsin⁡θ=−cot⁡θ.=\frac{\sin\theta}{\cos\theta}-\frac1{\sin\theta\cos\theta} =\frac{\sin^2\theta-1}{\sin\theta\cos\theta} =-\frac{\cos\theta}{\sin\theta}=-\cot\theta.=cosθsinθ​−sinθcosθ1​=sinθcosθsin2θ−1​=−sinθcosθ​=−cotθ.

Hence

Therefore

Since c=241c=2\sqrt{41}c=241​,

So

Multiply numerator and denominator suitably:

=8 41−5cos⁡θ5sin⁡θ15sin⁡θ25sin⁡2θ+16.=\frac{8\,\frac{\sqrt{41}-5\cos\theta}{5\sin\theta}}{\frac1{5\sin\theta}\sqrt{25\sin^2\theta+16}}.=5sinθ1​25sin2θ+16​85sinθ41​−5cosθ​​.

Thus

But

Hence

Factor the denominator:

So


  1. Compute β=S1P\beta=S_1Pβ=S1​P

Using distance formula from S1=(−c,0)S_1=(-c,0)S1​=(−c,0) to P=(10sec⁡θ,8tan⁡θ)P=(10\sec\theta,8\tan\theta)P=(10secθ,8tanθ),

Expand:

Using c2=164c^2=164c2=164 and tan⁡2θ=sec⁡2θ−1\tan^2\theta=\sec^2\theta-1tan2θ=sec2θ−1,

Since c=241c=2\sqrt{41}c=241​,

so

=(241sec⁡θ+10)2.=(2\sqrt{41}\sec\theta+10)^2.=(241​secθ+10)2.

Therefore

A more useful factorized form is


  1. Compute sin⁡α2\sin\dfrac\alpha2sin2α​

For a hyperbola, the difference of focal distances is constant:

Thus if

then

In triangle SPS1SPS_1SPS1​, side SS1=2c=441SS_1=2c=4\sqrt{41}SS1​=2c=441​ and angle at PPP is α\alphaα.

Use the half-angle identity:

where the sides adjacent to angle α\alphaα are

and opposite side is

Semiperimeter:

Then

Therefore

=4(41−25)β(β−20)=64β(β−20).=\frac{4(41-25)}{\beta(\beta-20)} =\frac{64}{\beta(\beta-20)}.=β(β−20)4(41−25)​=β(β−20)64​.

So

Now

β−20=241sec⁡θ−10.\qquad \beta-20=2\sqrt{41}\sec\theta-10.β−20=241​secθ−10.

Hence

=4(41−25cos⁡2θ)cos⁡2θ.=\frac{4(41-25\cos^2\theta)}{\cos^2\theta}.=cos2θ4(41−25cos2θ)​.

Thus

=4cos⁡θ41−25cos⁡2θ.=\frac{4\cos\theta}{\sqrt{41-25\cos^2\theta}}.=41−25cos2θ​4cosθ​.

Again using factorization,


  1. Now compute the target expression

We need

First compute βδ\beta\deltaβδ:

⋅841−5cos⁡θ41+5cos⁡θ.\cdot 8\sqrt{\frac{\sqrt{41}-5\cos\theta}{\sqrt{41}+5\cos\theta}}.⋅841​+5cosθ41​−5cosθ​​.

So

=16cos⁡θ41−25cos⁡2θ.=\frac{16}{\cos\theta}\sqrt{41-25\cos^2\theta}.=cosθ16​41−25cos2θ​.

Multiply by sin⁡α2\sin\dfrac\alpha2sin2α​:

=16cos⁡θ41−25cos⁡2θ⋅4cos⁡θ41−25cos⁡2θ=64.=\frac{16}{\cos\theta}\sqrt{41-25\cos^2\theta} \cdot \frac{4\cos\theta}{\sqrt{41-25\cos^2\theta}}=64.=cosθ16​41−25cos2θ​⋅41−25cos2θ​4cosθ​=64.

Therefore,

Hence the greatest integer less than or equal to this is
