If a hyperbola has one focus at origin and its eccentricity is√2 one of the directrices is x+y+1=0 Then find the centre of the hyperbola and the equation of its asymptotes


Dear Student,
Please find below the solution to the asked query:

The directrix is given by: x+y+1=0one of the focus=0,0Eccentricity=e=2hence,a2+b2a=2or a=±b It is a rectangular parabolaIn hyperbola:e=Distance between focus and pointDistance between directrix and pointLet any point on hyperbola be x,y2=x-02+y-02x+y+12x+y+1=x2+y2x+y+12=x2+y2x2+y2+1+2xy+2y+2x=x2+y2xy+x+y+12=0adding and subtracting 12xy+x+y+1=12xy+1+1y+1=12x+1y+1=12this is the form:XY=c2centre=-1,-1for rectangular hyperbola eqn of asymptotes is :X=0Y=0x+1=0and y+1=0
