Answer»

Right ANSWER is (a) \((\frac{x}{4})^2-(\frac{y}{5})^2\)=1

Easiest explanation: Given, 2a=8 => a=4 and 2b=10 => b=5.

Equation of hyperbola with transverse AXIS ALONG x-axis is \((\frac{x}{4})^2-(\frac{y}{5})^2\)=1.

So, equation of given hyperbola is \((\frac{x}{4})^2-(\frac{y}{5})^2\)=1.
