Find the eccentricity of the hyperbola `9y^(2)-4x^(2)=36`

Answer» Given equation of the hyperbola is
`9y^(2)-4x^(2)=36`
`rArr (9y^(2))/36-(4x^(2))/36=36/36`
`rArr (y^(2))/4-(x^(2))/9=1`
`rArr -(x^(2))/9+(y^(2))/4=1`
Since, this equation in form of `-(x^(2))/a+(y^(2))/(b^(2))=1`.wherea=3 and b=2.
`e=sqrt(1+(a/b)^(2))`
`=sqrt(1+9/4)=(sqrt13)/2`
