JEE Main & Advanced Mathematics Conic Sections Question Bank Hyperbola

  • question_answer
    The coordinates of the foci of the rectangular hyperbola \[xy={{c}^{2}}\] are

    A)            \[(\pm c,\ \pm c)\]                  

    B)            \[(\pm c\sqrt{2},\ \pm c\sqrt{2})\]

    C)            \[\left( \pm \frac{c}{\sqrt{2}},\ \pm \frac{c}{\sqrt{2}} \right)\]             

    D)            None of these

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

               \[xy={{c}^{2}}\]as \[{{c}^{2}}=\frac{{{a}^{2}}}{2}\]. Here, co-ordinates of focus are            \[(ae\cos 45{}^\circ ,\,ae\sin 45{}^\circ )\equiv (c\sqrt{2},c\sqrt{2})\],\[\{\because e=\sqrt{2}\],\[a=c\sqrt{2}\}\]            Similarly other focus is \[(-c\sqrt{2},-c\sqrt{2})\]                    Note:  Students should remember this question as a fact.
