(ii) x2y2 + 4x = 0
(iii) x2 − 3y2 − 2x = 8.

Answer:

(i) The equation 16x2-9y2+32x+36y-164=0 can be simplified in the following way:
16(x2+2x)-9y2-4y=16416(x2+2x+1)-9y2-4y+4=164+16-3616(x+1)2-9y-22=144(x+1)29-(y-2)216=1
Thus, the centre is -1,2.
Eccentricity of the hyperbola = a2+b2a=9+163=53
Foci = -1±5,2=-6,2,4,2

Equation of the directrices:
x+1=±aex=±3×35-1x=±95-15x-4=0 or 5x+14=0

Answer:

(i) The distance between the foci is 2ae.

2ae=16ae=8

 e=2
 a2=8a=42
 
Also, b2=a2(e2-1)b2=32(2-1)b2=32
Therefore, the standard form of the hyperbola is given below:
 x232-y232=1x2-y2=32

(ii) The distance between the foci is 2ae.
 
 2ae=13ae=132
Length of the conjugate axis, 2b=5
 b=52
 
Also, b2=a2(e2-1)522=1322-a2a2=169-254a2=1444=36a=6

(vi) foci at (± 2, 0) and eccentricity is 3/2.   [NCERT EXEMPLAR]

Answer:

(i) The centre of the hyperbola is the midpoint of the line joining  the two focii.
So, the coordinates of the centre are 6-42,4+42, i.e. 1, 4.
Let 2a and 2b be the length of the transverse and conjugate axis and let e be the eccentricity.

x-12a2-y-42b2=1
Distance between the two focii = 2ae


2ae=6+42+4-422ae=10ae=5a=52

Also, b2=ae2-a2b2=25-254b2=754

Equation of the hyperbola is given below:
4x-1225-4y-4275=14x2-2x+125-y2-8y+1675=14x2-8x+425-4y2-32y+6475=134x2-8x+4-4y2-32y+64=7512x2-24x+12-4y2+32y-64=7512x2-24x-4y2+32y-127=0

(ii) The centre of the hyperbola is given below:
-8+162,-1-12=4,-1
If the other focus is S'm,n, then it is calculated in the following way:
4=17+m2m=-9 And -1=-1+n2n=-1
Thus, the other focus is -9,-1.

Distance between the vertices: 2a=16+82+-1+122a=24a=12

Distance between the foci:
2c=17+92+-1+122c=26c=13

Also, c2=a2+b2b2=169-144b2=25

Equation of the hyperbola is given below:
x-42144-y+1225=1x2-8x+16144-y2+2y+125=125x2-200x+400-144y2+288y+144=360025x2-200x-144y2-288y-3344=0

(iii) The centre of the hyperbola is the midpoint of the line joining the two focii.
So, the coordinates of the centre are 4+82,2+22, i.e. 6, 2.
Let 2a and 2b be the length of the transverse and conjugate axis. Let e be the eccentricity.

x-62a2-y-22b2=1
Distance between the two focii = 2ae


2ae=4-82+2-222ae=4ae=2a=1

Also, b2=ae2-a2b2=4-1b2=3

Equation of the hyperbola:
x-621-y-223=1x2-12x+361-y2-4y+43=13x2-12x+36-y2-4y+4=33x2-36x+108-y2+4y-4=33x2-y2-36x+4y+101=0


(iv) The Vertices of the hyperbola are 0,±7.
∴ b=7
The foci is 0,±283.
∴ be=283


Also, a2=b2e2-1a2=2832-49a2=3439
Therefore, the equation of the hyperbola is-9x2343+y249=1.

(v) The Vertices of the hyperbola are ±6, 0.
∴ a=6
a2 = 36
Now, x = 4
ae=4e=32         a=6
Now,
 ae2=a2+b26×322=62+b281-36=b2b2=45


Therefore, the equation of the hyperbola isx236-y245=1.

(vi) The foci of the hyperbola are ±2, 0.
∴ ae=2a=2×23=43a2=169
Now,
 ae2=a2+b222=432+b24-169=b2b2=209


Therefore, the equation of the hyperbola is given by
9x216-9y220=1x24-y25=49

2b=34×2ab=34a
Using the relation b2=a2(e2-1), we get:

342a2=a2(e2-1)916=e2-1e2=2516e=54
Therefore, the eccentricity of the hyperbola is 54.

(i) focus is at (5, 2), vertex at (4, 2) and centre at (3, 2)
(ii) focus is at (4, 2), centre at (6, 2) and e = 2.

Answer:

(i) The equation of the hyperbola with centre (x0,y0) is given by
x-x02a2-y-y02b2=1Focus = ae+x0, y0

 Vertex = (a+x0, y0)

 ae=2 and a=1b2=22-a2b2=22-12b2=3

x-321-y-223=13x-32-y-22=3


(ii) The equation of the hyperbola with centre (x0,y0) is given by
x-x02a2-y-y02b2=1Focus = ae+x0, y0

 ae=-2a=-1b2=22-a2b2=-22--12b2=3

x-621-y-223=13x-62-y-22=3

Question 10:

If P is any point on the hyperbola whose axis are equal, prove that SP. S'P = CP2.

Answer:

Equation of the hyperbola:
x2a2-y2b2=1

If the axes of the hyperbola are equal, then a=b.
Then, equation of the hyperbola becomes x2-y2=a2.

   b2=a2e2-1a2=a2e2-11=e2-1e2=2e=2
Thus, the centre C0,0 and the focus are given by S2a,0 and S'-2a,0, respectively.
Let Pα,β be any point on the parabola.
So, it will satisfy the equation.
α2-β2=a2

 SP2=2a-α2+β2=2a2+α2-22aα+β2

S'P2=-2a-α2+β2=2a2+α2+22aα+β2

Now, SP2.S'P2=2a2+α2-22aα+β22a2+α2+22aα+β2=4a4+4a2α2+β2+α2+β22-8a2α2=4a2a2-2α2+4a2α2+β2+α2+β22=4a2α2-β2-2α2+4a2α2+β2+α2+β22=-4a2α2+β2+4a2α2+β2+α2+β22=α2+β22=CP4

(viii) vertices (± 7, 0), e=43
(ix) foci (0, ± 10), passing through (2, 3)
(x) foci (0, ± 12), latus-rectum = 36

Answer:

(i) The vertices of the hyperbola are ±2,0 and the foci are ±3,0.
Thus, the value of a=2 and ae=3.
Now, using the relation b2=a2(e2-1), we get:
b2=9-4b2=5
Thus, the equation of the hyperbola is x24-y25=1.

(ii) The vertices of the hyperbola are 0,±5 and the foci are 0,±8
Thus, the value of a=5 and ae=8.
Now, using the relation b2=a2(e2-1), we get:
b2=64-25b2=39
Thus, the equation of the hyperbola is -x239+y225=1.

(iii) The vertices of the hyperbola are 0,±3 and the foci are 0,±5.
Thus, the value of a=3 and ae=5.
Now, using the relation b2=a2(e2-1), we get:
b2=25-9b2=16
Thus, the equation of the hyperbola is  -x216+y29=1.

(iv) The foci of  the hyperbola  are ±5,0 and the transverse axis is 8.
Thus, the value of  ae=5 and 2a = 8.
a=4
Now, using the relation b2=a2(e2-1), we get:
b2=25-16b2=9
Thus, the equation of the hyperbola isx216-y29=1

(v) The foci of the hyperbola are 0,±13 and the conjugate axis is 24.
Thus, the value of  ae=13 and 2b = 24.
b = 12

Now, using the relation b2=a2(e2-1), we get:
a2=169-144a2=25
Thus, the equation of the hyperbola is-x2144+y225=1

(vi) The foci of the hyperbola are ±35,0 and the latus rectum is 8.
Thus, the value of  ae=35 
and 2b2a=8b2=4a
Now, using the relation b2=a2(e2-1), we get:
4a=45-a2a2+4a-45=0a-5a+9=0a=-9, 5
 b2=-36 or 20
Since negative value is not possible, it is equal to 20.
Thus, the equation of the hyperbola isx225-y220=1

(vii) The foci of the hyperbola are ±4,0 and the latus rectum is 12.
Thus, the value of  ae=4
and 2b2a=12b2=6a
Now, using the relation b2=a2(e2-1), we get:
6a=16-a2a2+6a-16=0a-2a+8=0a=2, or -8
 b2=12 or -48
Since negative value is not possible, its value is 12.
Thus, the equation of the hyperbola isx24-y212=1

(viii) The vertices of hyperbola are ±7,0 and eccentricity is 43
Thus, the value of a=7.
Now, using the relation b2=a2(e2-1), we get:
b2=49169-1b2=49×79=3439
Thus, the equation of the hyperbola isx249-9y2343=1.

(ix) The foci of hyperbola are 0,±10 that pass through 2,3.

Thus, the value of ae=10.By squaring both the sides, we get:ae2=10a2+b2=10b2=10-a2 
Let the equation of the hyperbola be y2a2-x2b2=1.
It passes through 2,3.
32a2-2210-a2=190-9a2-4a2=10a2-a4a4-23a2+90=0a2-18a2-5=0a2=18,5
Now, b2=-8 or 5
If we neglect the negative value,  then b2 = 5.
Thus, the equation of the hyperbola isy25-x25=1.

(x) The foci of the hyperbola are 0,±12 and the latus rectum is 36.
Thus, the value of  ae=12.
and 2b2a=36b2=18a

Now, using the relation b2=a2(e2-1), we get:
18a=144-a2a2+18a-144=0a+24a-6=0a=-24, or 6
 b2=-432 or 108              (but negative value is not possible)

(b) 9x2 − 16y2 = 144
(c) 25x2 − 9y2 = 225
(d) 9x2 − 25y2 = 81

Answer:

(a) 16x2 − 9y2 = 144

The vertices of the hyperbola are ±3,0 and foci are ±5,0.
Thus, the values of a and ae are 3 and 5, respectively.

Now, using the relation b2=a2(e2-1), we get:

(b) e12 + 2 e22 = 3
(c) 2 e12 + e22 = 3
(d) e12 + 3 e22 = 2

Answer:

(c) 2 e12 + e22 = 3
The standard form of the ellipse is x218+y24=1, where a2=18 and b2=4.
So, the eccentricity is calculated in the following way:
b2=a2(1-e12)4=18(1-e12)29=1-e12e12=79
The standard form of the hyperbola is x29-y24=1, where a2=9 and b2=4.
So, the eccentricity is calculated in the following way:
b2=a2(e22-1)4=9(e22-1)49=e22-1e22=139

 2e12+e22=2×79+139                  =279                  =3

x=8secθ, y=8tanθ 

On squaring and subtracting:x2-y2= 8sec2θ - 8tan2θx2- y2=8x28-y28=1

∴ a = b = 8
Distance between the directrices of the hyperbola = 2a2a2+b2
 Distance between the directrices=2×6464+64                                                 =12882                                                 =162                                                 =82

Answer:

(d) 2xy − 4x + 4y + 1 = 0

Let P(x,y) be any point on the hyperbola.
Then, the distance of any point from the focus is eccentricity times the distance from the directrix.

 x-12+y+12=2x-y+12

Squaring both the sides, we get:
(x-1)2+(y+1)2=x-y+12x2-2x+1+y2+1+2y=x2+y2+1-2xy-2y+2x2xy-4x+4y+1=0

Question 1:

Write the eccentricity of the hyperbola 9x2 − 16y2 = 144.

Answer:

Equation of the hyperbola:
9 x2 - 16y 2 = 144                         ..... (1)

Equation (1) can be rewritten in the following way:
9x2144 - 16y 2144 = 144144x216 - y 29 = 1
x242-y232=1
This becomes the standard equation of the hyperbola with its major axis a=4 and minor axis b=3.
Eccentricity, e = a2+b2a
Substituting the value of a and b, we get:
e = 42+324    =16+94    =54
Therefore, the eccentricity is 54.

Question 2:

Write the eccentricity of the hyperbola whose latus-rectum is half of its transverse axis.

Answer:

The lengths of the latus rectum and the transverse axis are 2b2a and 2a, respectively. ​
According to the given statement, length of the latus rectum is half of its trasverse axis.

2b2a = 12×2a2b2a = a   2b2=a2

Eccentricity, e = a2+b2a
Substituting the value b2=a22, we get:
e = a2+a22a    =a32a    =32
Therefore, the eccentricity is 32.

Question 3:

Write the coordinates of the foci of the hyperbola 9x2 − 16y2 = 144.

Answer:

Equation of the hyperbola:
9x2-16y2=144 ..... (1)

This equation (1) can be rewritten in the following way:
9x2144-16y2144=1x216-y29=1


This becomes a standard form of the hyperbola with transverse axis a=4 and conjugate axis b=3.

Eccentricity of the hyperbola, e=a2+b2a                                                    =42+324                                                    =16+94                                                    =54
The foci of the hyperbola are of the form ae,0 and 
-ae,0.
Therefore, the foci are 5,0 and -5,0.4

Question 4:

Write the equation of the hyperbola of eccentricity 2, if it is known that the distance between its foci is 16.

Answer:

The foci of the hyperbola are of the form ae,0 and -ae,0.

Distance between the foci = ae- (-ae2+02                                                =2ae2                                                =2ae
Distance between the foci is 16 and eccentricity of the hyperbola is 2.

  2ae=1622a=16a=42


Now, b2=a2(e2-1)  b2=422((2)2-1)  b2=32

Equation of the hyperbola is given below:
x2422-y232=1x232-y232=1

Question 5:

If the foci of the ellipse x216+y2b2=1 and the hyperbola x2144-y281=125 coincide, write the value of b2.

Answer:

Equation of the hyperbola:
x2144-y281=125

Simplifying the above equation, we get:
25x2144-25y281=1x214425-y28125=1x21252-y2952=1
This is the standard form of hyperbola with a=125and b=95.

Eccentricity of the hyperbola, e=1252+952125                                      =1512
The foci of the hyperbola are of the form ae,0 and -ae,0.
So, foci of the hyperbola are 3,0 and -3,0.
The foci of the hyperbola coincide with the foci of the ellipse.

For ellipse,
a=4

Using the relationa2-b2=ae, we get:
42-b2=316-b2=9b2=7
Therefore, the value of b2 is 7.

Question 6:

Write the length of the latus-rectum of the hyperbola 16x2 − 9y2 = 144.

Answer:

Equation of the hyperbola:
16x2-9y2=144
This equation can be rewritten in the following way:
16x2144-9y2144=1x29-y216=1x232-y242=1
This is the standard form of a hyperbola with a=3 and b=4.
Length of the latus rectum = 2b2a 
Substituting the value of and b, we get:
Length of the ​latus rectum  =2×423=323

Question 7:

If the latus-rectum through one focus of a hyperbola subtends a right angle at the farther vertex, then write the eccentricity of the hyperbola.

Answer:

The standard equation of hyperbola is given below:
x2a2-y2b2=1

Let the latus rectum be QR, which passes through one of the focus. QR subtends a right angle at point P.

It passes through the focus ae,±y.
ae2a2-y2b2=1y2b2=ae2a2-1y2b2=e2-1y=±be2-1
Now, the slope of PQ is be2-1ae+a and the slope of PR is-be2-1ae+a.
The lines PQ and PR are perpendicular, so the product of the slope is -1.

be2-1ae+a×-be2-1ae+a=-1b2e2-1=ae+a2b2e2-1=a2e+12e2-12=e+12e4-2e2+1=e2+2e+1e4-3e2-2e=0ee3-3e-2=0ee-2e+1e+1=0

∴ e=0,-1,2

The value of e can neither be negative nor zero.

Therefore, the value of eccentricity is 2.

a = b = 8
Distance between the directrices of  hyperbola is 2a2a2+b2.

 2×6464+64=12882=162=82

Question 9:

Write the equation of the hyperbola whose vertices are (± 3, 0) and foci at (± 5, 0).

Answer:

The vertices of the hyperbola and the foci are ±a,0 and ±ae,0, respectively.

 a=3 and ae=5 

Using the relation b2=a2e2-1, we get:

b2=ae2-a2b2=25-9b2=16b=4
Therefore, the equation of hyperbola is x29-y216=1.

Question 10:

If e1 and e2 are respectively the eccentricities of the ellipse x218+y24=1 and the hyperbola x29-y24=1, then write the value of 2 e12 + e22.

Answer:

The standard form of the ellipse is x218+y24=1, where a2=18 and b2=4.
So, the eccentricity is calculated in the following way:
b2=a2(1-e12)4=18(1-e12)29=1-e12e12=79
The standard form of the hyperbola is x29-y24=1, where a2=9 and b2=4.
So, the eccentricity is calculated in the following way:
b2=a2(e22-1)4=9(e22-1)49=e22-1e22=139

 2e12+e22=2×79+139                  =279                  =3
