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
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:
The foci are of the hyperbola lie on the y-axis.
∴ The standard equation of the hyperbola is: ...(i)
The foci are
Also, the latus rectum is
...(ii)
Now, (∵
)
(∵ a = -8 is not possible)
Also,
Hence, from (i), the equation of the hyperbola is or
.
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.
