    The eccentricity of the hyperbola in the standard form\[\frac{{{x}^{2}}}{{{a}^{2}}}-\frac{{{y}^{2}}}{{{b}^{2}}}=1\]passing through (3,0) and\[(3\sqrt{2},2)\]is:

    A)  \[\frac{13}{3}\]                               

    B)  \[\sqrt{13}\]

    C)  \[\sqrt{3}\]                       

    D)         \[\frac{\sqrt{13}}{3}\]

    E)  \[\frac{5}{3}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    \[\frac{{{x}^{2}}}{{{a}^{2}}}-\frac{{{y}^{2}}}{{{a}^{2}}}=1\]pass through (3, 0) and\[(3\sqrt{2},2)\] \[\therefore \]  \[\frac{9}{{{a}^{2}}}=1\Rightarrow {{a}^{2}}=9\] and        \[\frac{9\times 2}{9}-\frac{4}{{{b}^{2}}}=1\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[2-1=\frac{4}{{{b}^{2}}}\]\[\Rightarrow \]\[{{b}^{2}}=4\] \[\therefore \]  \[e=\sqrt{1+\frac{{{b}^{2}}}{{{a}^{2}}}}=\sqrt{1+\frac{4}{9}}=\frac{\sqrt{13}}{3}\]
