Find the equation of hyperbola whose foci are (±√29, 0) and the transverse axis is of the length 10. |
|
Answer» Major axis of the given hyperbola lie on x-axis. Equation of the hyperbola will be of the form: x2/a2 – y2/b2 = 1 Whose foci at (±c, 0) and transverse axis is 2a Given: transverse axis = 10 ⇒ 2a = 10 ⇒ a = 5 Given: foci (±√29, 0) (±c, 0) = (±√29, 0) ⇒ c = √29 We know, c2 = a2 + b2 29 = 25 + b2 or b2 = 4 Equation (1)⇒ x2/25 – y2/4 = 1 Which is required equation. |
