A hyperbola having the transverse axis of length 2sinθ , is confocal with ellipse 3x²+4y²-12=0 then its equation is ____________The answer is x²cosec² θ- y²sec² θ = 1 please explain me how
Ellipse equation is 3x² + 4y² - 12 = 0
Hence
So a2 = 4 and b2 = 3
So eccentricity =
So focus of the ellipse = (ae ,0) and (-ae ,0 )
Hence the focus = (1,0) and ( -1 ,0 )
As the hyperbola is confocal , so focus is same , hence C for hyperbola = 1
And length of transverse axis = 2sin
So length of semi transverse axis = A = sin
And C2 = A2 + B2 [ here A , B and C are parameters in hyperbola , similar to ellipse ]
So B2 = 1- sin2 = cos2
Hence the equation of hyperbola is
