Find the equation of a hyperbola whose vertices lie on y-axis, centre is at the origin, the distance between the foci is 16 and eccentricity is
The vertices of the hyperbola lie on the y-axis.
∴ The equation of the hyperbola in standard form is ...(i)
The foci are
The distance between them is 2c = 16 (given) c = 8
Eccentricity, e =
∴ c = 8 ae = 8
or
Now,
Hence, from (i), the equation of the hyperbola is: or
Find the co-ordinates of foci, the vertices, the length of transverse axis, the length of conjugate axis, the eccentricity, the latus rectum of the hyperbola:
Find the co-ordinates of foci, the vertices, the length of transverse axis, the length of conjugate axis, the eccentricity, the latus rectum of the hyperbola:
For the hyperbola 3X2 – 2y2 = 1.
Find: (i) the lengths of the transverse and conjugate axes.
(ii) the co-ordinates of foci.
(iii) the co-ordinates of vertices.
(iv) the eccentricity.
(v) the length of latus rectum.
