  • question_answer
    The equation of the hyperbola whose foci are (6, 4) and    (?4, 4) and eccentricity 2 is given by       [MP PET 1993]

    A)            \[12{{x}^{2}}-4{{y}^{2}}-24x+32y-127=0\]

    B)            \[12{{x}^{2}}+4{{y}^{2}}+24x-32y-127=0\]

    C)            \[12{{x}^{2}}-4{{y}^{2}}-24x-32y+127=0\]

    D)            \[12{{x}^{2}}-4{{y}^{2}}+24x+32y+127=0\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                       Foci are (6,4) and (?4,4), \[e=2\]and centre is \[\left( \frac{6-4}{2},4 \right)=(1,4)\]                   Þ\[6=1+ae\]Þ \[ae=5\]Þ \[a=\frac{5}{2}\]and \[b=\frac{5}{2}(\sqrt{3})\]                   Hence the required equation is \[\frac{{{(x-1)}^{2}}}{(25/4)}-\frac{{{(y-4)}^{2}}}{(75/4)}=1\]                    or \[12{{x}^{2}}-4{{y}^{2}}-24x+32y-127=0\].
