Question

 

Find the equation of the hyperbola whose foci are (6, 4) and (–4, 4) and eccentricity is 2.

Solution

Correct option is

 

The centre of the hyperbola is the mid-point of the line joining the two foci. So the coordinates of the centre are  

          

Let 2a and 2b be the length of transverse and conjugate axes and let e be the eccentricity. Then equation of hyperbole is  

      

∴ Distance between the foci = 2ae

       

       

  

Thus the equation of the hyperbola is
