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:
Find the equation of a hyperbola whose foci are and which pass through point (2, 3).
The foci of the hyperbola are which lie on y-axis.
∴ The standard equation of the hyperbola is ...(i)
It passes through (2, 3)
...(ii)
The foci are
But, ...(iii)
Using (iii) in (ii), we have
When from (iii),
(not possible)
When
∴
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.
