Conic Sections Exercise 04
Question:
Find the equation of the hyperbola satisfying the given conditions: Foci (±3√5,0) the latus rectum is of length 8
Answer:
Answer:
Step 1: The equation of a hyperbola centered at the origin with foci (±3√5,0) is given by:
x^2/a^2 - y^2/b^2 = 1
Step 2: The latus rectum of a hyperbola is given by 2b^2/a.
Step 3: Substitute the given value of the latus rectum (8) in the equation to get:
2b^2/a = 8
Step 4: Solve for b:
b^2 = 4a
Step 5: Substitute the value of b in the equation of the hyperbola:
x^2/a^2 - (4a/a^2) = 1
Step 6: Simplify the equation to get:
x^2 - 4a = a^2
Step 7: Solve for a:
a^2 - x^2 = 4a
Step 8: Divide both sides by 4 to get:
a^2/4 - x^2/4 = a
Step 9: Move the terms to the left side and solve for a:
(a^2 - 4x^2)/4 = a
Step 10: Substitute the value of a in the equation of the hyperbola to get:
x^2/((a^2 - 4x^2)/4) - y^2/a^2 = 1
Step 11: Simplify the equation to get:
x^2/(a^2 - 4x^2) - 4y^2/a^2 = 1
Step 12: The equation of the hyperbola satisfying the given conditions is:
x^2/(a^2 - 4x^2) - 4y^2/a^2 = 1

Question:
Find the coordinates of the foci. the vertices the eccentricity and the length of the latus rectum of the hyperbola 49y^2−16x^2=784
Answer:
-
Identify the equation of the hyperbola: 49y^2−16x^2=784
-
Find the vertices: The vertices of the hyperbola can be found by solving for y when x=0 and x when y=0.
When x=0: 49y^2=784 y= ±√(784/49) y= ±8
When y=0: 16x^2=784 x= ±√(784/16) x= ±14
The vertices are (14, 8) and (-14, -8).
- Find the foci: The foci of the hyperbola can be found by using the equation c^2=a^2+b^2, where a and b are the distances from the center to the vertices and c is the distance from the center to the foci.
c^2=(14)^2+(8)^2 c= √(196+64) c= √260
The foci are (√260, 0) and (-√260, 0).
- Find the eccentricity: The eccentricity of the hyperbola can be found using the equation e=c/a, where a and c are the distances from the center to the vertices and the foci, respectively.
e= (√260)/14 e= √(260/196) e= √(13/14)
The eccentricity is √(13/14).
- Find the length of the latus rectum: The length of the latus rectum can be found using the equation l=2b^2/a, where a and b are the distances from the center to the vertices.
l= 2(8)^2/14 l= 128/14 l= 9.14
The length of the latus rectum is 9.14.
Question:

-
Simplify the equation: (x±5)^2/64 - y^2/64 = 1
-
Solve for y: y^2 = 64 - (x±5)^2
-
Rewrite the equation in standard form: (x-h)^2/a^2 - (y-k)^2/b^2 = 1
-
Substitute the values for h, k, a, and b: (x-0)^2/8^2 - (y-0)^2/8^2 = 1
-
The equation of the hyperbola is: (x-0)^2/8^2 - (y-0)^2/8^2 = 1

Question:
Find the coordinates of the foci, the vertices the eccentricity and the length of latus rectum of the hyperbola 16x^2−9y^2=576
Answer:
-
The equation of the hyperbola is 16x^2−9y^2=576
-
The foci of the hyperbola can be found by using the equation: c^2 = a^2 + b^2, where c is the distance between the foci and a and b are the lengths of the semi-major and semi-minor axes respectively. In this case, a = 8 and b = 3, so c = sqrt(64 + 9) = sqrt(73). Therefore, the coordinates of the foci are (8 ± sqrt(73), 0).
-
The vertices of the hyperbola can be found by using the equation: x = a ± c, where a is the length of the semi-major axis and c is the distance between the foci. In this case, a = 8 and c = sqrt(73), so the vertices are (8 ± sqrt(73), 0).
-
The eccentricity of the hyperbola can be found by using the equation: e = c/a, where c is the distance between the foci and a is the length of the semi-major axis. In this case, c = sqrt(73) and a = 8, so e = sqrt(73)/8.
-
The length of the latus rectum of the hyperbola can be found by using the equation: l = 4a^2/c, where a is the length of the semi-major axis and c is the distance between the foci. In this case, a = 8 and c = sqrt(73), so l = 4(8^2)/sqrt(73) = 32/sqrt(73).

Question:
Find the equation of the hyperbola satisfying the give conditions: Foci (±4,0) the latus rectum is of length 12
Answer:
Answer:
Step 1: The equation of a hyperbola with foci (±4, 0) is given by:
(x-4)^2/a^2 - (y-0)^2/b^2 = 1
Step 2: The latus rectum is of length 12, so the equation of the hyperbola is:
(x-4)^2/36 - (y-0)^2/b^2 = 1
Step 3: To find the value of b, we can use the formula:
b^2 = a*c
where a is the length of the major axis and c is the length of the latus rectum.
Therefore, b = sqrt(36*12) = 18
Step 4: The equation of the hyperbola is:
(x-4)^2/36 - (y-0)^2/18^2 = 1
Question:
Find the equation of the hyperbola whose foci are (0,±√10) and passing through the point (2,3).
Answer:
-
A hyperbola with foci at (0,±√10) has the equation (x-0)^2/a^2 - (y-√10)^2/b^2 = 1
-
We can determine the values of a and b by substituting the coordinates of the given point (2,3): (2-0)^2/a^2 - (3-√10)^2/b^2 = 1
-
Solving for a and b: a^2 = 4 and b^2 = (3-√10)^2 = 1/4
-
Therefore, the equation of the hyperbola is: (x-0)^2/4 - (y-√10)^2/1/4 = 1
-
Simplifying, the equation of the hyperbola is: 4x^2 - (y-√10)^2 = 4
Question:
A chord of the ellipse x^2/16+y^2/9=1 passing through the focus on positive x-axis subtends an angle of 90o at the centre . The co-ordinate of the points (s) where it goes on to intersects the y-axis is . A (0,±4√7/13) B (0,±2√7/31) C (0,±12√7/31) D (0,±√7/31)
Answer:
-
Given equation is x^2/16 + y^2/9 = 1
-
Since the chord passes through the focus on positive x-axis and subtends an angle of 90o at the centre, the equation of the chord can be written as y = ± (x/4)
-
Substitute y = ± (x/4) in the given equation
-
x^2/16 + (x/4)^2/9 = 1
-
Simplify the equation
-
9x^2 + 4x^2 = 144
-
13x^2 = 144
-
Divide both sides by 13
-
x^2 = 11
-
Take the square root of both sides
-
x = ± √11
-
Substitute x = ± √11 in the equation y = ± (x/4)
-
y = ± (√11/4)
-
The coordinates of the points where the chord intersects the y-axis is (0, ±√7/31).

Answer:
Answer: The equation of the hyperbola satisfying the given conditions is:
\frac{x^2}{a^2}-\frac{y^2}{b^2}=1
Where, a^2 = \frac{8^2 - 5^2}{2} = 21 b^2 = 5^2
Therefore, the equation of the hyperbola is: \frac{x^2}{21}-\frac{y^2}{25}=1
Question:
Find the coordinates of the foci, the vertices the eccentricity and the length of the latus rectum of the hyperbola 5y^2−9x^2=36
Answer:
Answer: The equation of the hyperbola is in the form of (x^2/a^2)-(y^2/b^2)=1
Therefore, the coordinates of the foci are (±a√(1-e^2), 0).
a=3, b=2, e=√(1-(b^2/a^2))=√(1-(2^2/3^2))=√(1-4/9)=√(5/9)
Therefore, the coordinates of the foci are (±3√(5/9), 0).
The vertices of the hyperbola are (±3, 0).
The length of the latus rectum is 4a√(1-e^2)=4(3)√(5/9)=4√(15/9).
Question:
Find the equation of the hyperbola satisfying the given conditions: Vertices (±2,0), foci (±3,0)
Answer:
Answer: Step 1: Calculate the distance between the foci and the vertices.
Distance = |3 - 2| = 1
Step 2: Calculate the length of the transverse axis.
Transverse axis = 2 * Distance = 2 * 1 = 2
Step 3: Calculate the length of the conjugate axis.
Conjugate axis = 2 * Distance = 2 * 1 = 2
Step 4: Calculate the coordinates of the center of the hyperbola.
Center = (2 + 3) / 2 = 2.5, 0
Step 5: Substitute the values into the standard equation of a hyperbola.
Equation of the hyperbola: (x - 2.5)^2 / 2^2 - (y - 0)^2 / 2^2 = 1
