    The directrix of the hyperbola\[\frac{{{x}^{2}}}{9}-\frac{{{y}^{2}}}{4}=1\]is:

    A) \[y=6/\sqrt{13}\]                            

    B) \[x=6/\sqrt{13}\]

    C) \[y=9/\sqrt{13}\]                            

    D) \[x=\pm 9/\sqrt{13}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Key Idea: If the equation of hyperbola is\[\frac{{{x}^{2}}}{{{a}^{2}}}-\frac{{{y}^{2}}}{{{b}^{2}}}=1\], then equation of directrices are\[x=\pm \frac{a}{e}\]. Given equation of hyperbola be                 \[\frac{{{x}^{2}}}{9}-\frac{{{y}^{2}}}{4}=1\] Here,     \[{{a}^{2}}=9,\,\,{{b}^{2}}=4\] \[\therefore \]  \[e=\sqrt{1+\frac{{{b}^{2}}}{{{a}^{2}}}}=\sqrt{1+\frac{4}{9}}\] \[\therefore \]Equation of directrices,\[x=\pm \frac{a}{e}=\pm \frac{9}{\sqrt{13}}\]
