        The   eccentricity   of   the   hyperbola \[9{{x}^{2}}-16{{y}^{2}}-18x-64y-199=0\]is

    A)  \[\frac{16}{9}\]                               

    B)  \[\frac{5}{4}\]   

    C)  \[\frac{25}{16}\]                             

    D)  zero

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                    Key Idea: Eccentricity of hyperbola \[\frac{{{(x-h)}^{2}}}{{{a}^{2}}}+\frac{{{(y-k)}^{2}}}{{{b}^{2}}}=1\] is             \[e=\sqrt{\frac{({{a}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}})}{{{a}^{2}}}}\] Given hyperbola \[9{{x}^{2}}-16{{y}^{2}}-18x-64y-199=0\] \[-16({{y}^{2}}+4y+4-4)-199=0\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[9{{(x-1)}^{2}}-16{{(y+2)}^{2}}=144\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\frac{{{(x-1)}^{2}}}{16}-\frac{{{(y+2)}^{2}}}{9}=1\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[{{a}^{2}}=16,{{b}^{2}}=9\] \[\therefore \]  \[e=\sqrt{\frac{16+9}{16}}=\frac{5}{4}\] Note: Since eccentricity of \[\frac{{{x}^{2}}}{{{a}^{2}}}-\frac{{{y}^{2}}}{{{b}^{2}}}=1\]and \[\frac{{{(x-h)}^{2}}}{{{a}^{2}}}-\frac{{{(y-k)}^{2}}}{{{b}^{2}}}=1\]is same. \[\therefore \]Eccentricity of hyperbola is independent of shift of centre.
