consider the equations of  tangents to both the hyperbola in the slope form which is for the first hyperbola y=mx+sqrt(a^2*m^2-b^2) and for the second one it is y=mx +sqrt(a^2+b^2*m^2) where a=3 b=4.. As it is a common tangent the slope is m and for both of them the y intercept has to be equal. Hence on equating we get the value of m which is the slope of the tangent and hence we get the required tangent.
