JEE Main & Advanced Mathematics Conic Sections Question Bank Hyperbola

  • question_answer
    The eccentricity of the conjugate hyperbola of the hyperbola \[{{x}^{2}}-3{{y}^{2}}=1\], is                [MP PET 1999]

    A)            2     

    B)            \[\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}\]

    C)            4     

    D)            \[\frac{4}{3}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                      Eccentricity of \[\frac{{{x}^{2}}}{{{a}^{2}}}-\frac{{{y}^{2}}}{{{b}^{2}}}=1\]is \[e=\sqrt{\frac{{{a}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}}{{{a}^{2}}}}\]                   Eccentricity of conjugate hyperbola, \[e'=\sqrt{\frac{{{a}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}}{{{b}^{2}}}}\]                   Write the given equation in standard form,                   \[\frac{{{x}^{2}}}{1}-\frac{{{y}^{2}}}{1/3}=1\]Þ\[{{a}^{2}}=1,\,\,{{b}^{2}}=\frac{1}{3}\]                    \\[e'=\sqrt{\frac{1+1/3}{1/3}}=\sqrt{4}=2\].
