Find the coordinates of the foci and the vertices, the eccentricity and the length of the latus rectum of the hyperbolas.`49 y^2-16 x^2=784` |
|
Answer» Given equation is, `49y^2-16x^2 = 784` We will convert this equation into standard form. `=>49/784y^2-16/784x^2 = 1` `=> y^2/16-x^2/49 =1 ` So, this is our standard equation of hyperbola with, `a = 4, b = 7` `c = sqrt(a^2+b^2) = sqrt(16+49) = sqrt65` Here, as `y^2` is positive, major-axis will be `Y-`axis. Now, foci will be `(0,+-c) = (0,+-sqrt65).` Vertices will be `(0,+-a) = (0,+-4).` Eccentricity `= c/a = sqrt65/4.` Length of latus rectum ` = 2b^2/a = 2**49/4 = 49/2.` |
