    The equation of the directrices of the conic \[{{x}^{2}}+2x-{{y}^{2}}+5=0\] are

    A)            \[x=\pm 1\]                              

    B)            \[y=\pm 2\]

    C)            \[y=\pm \sqrt{2}\]                    

    D)            \[x=\pm \sqrt{3}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                       \[{{(x+1)}^{2}}-{{y}^{2}}-1+5=0\] Þ \[-\frac{{{(x+1)}^{2}}}{4}+\frac{{{y}^{2}}}{4}=1\]            Equation of directrices  of \[\frac{{{y}^{2}}}{{{b}^{2}}}-\frac{{{x}^{2}}}{{{a}^{2}}}=1\] are \[y=\pm \frac{b}{e}\]            Here \[b=2,\ e=\sqrt{1+1}=\sqrt{2}\]                    Hence \[y=\pm \frac{2}{\sqrt{2}}\] Þ \[y=\pm \sqrt{2}\].
