Find the equations of the hyperbola satisfying the given conditions :Vertices `(+-2,0),f o c i(+-3,0)` |
|
Answer» Since the vertices of the given hyperbola are of the form `(+-a,0) ` it is a horizontal hyperbola . Let the required equation be `(x^(2))/(a^(2))=(y^(2))/(b^(2))=1.` then , its vertices are `(+-a,0)`. But , it is given that the vertices are `(+-2,0)`. `therefore a=2` Let its foci be `(+-c,0)` But , it is given that foci are `(+-3,0).` `therefore c=3.` `Now ,b^(2)=(c^(2)-a^(2))=(3^(2)-2^(2))=(9-4)=5.` Thus `,a^(2)=2^(2)=4 and b^(2)=5.` Hence , the required equation is `(x^(2))/(4)-(y^(2))/(b^(2))=1.` |
