Question 1.
Find the coordinates of the foci and the vertices, the eccentricity, and the length of the latus rectum of the hyperbola
$$\frac{x^{2}}{16}-\frac{y^{2}}{9}$$ = 1.
The given equation is $$\frac{x^{2}}{16}-\frac{y^{2}}{9}$$ = 1 or $$\frac{x^{2}}{a^{2}}-\frac{y^{2}}{b^{2}}$$ = 1.

On comparing this equation with the standard equation of hyperbola i.e., $$\frac{x^{2}}{a^{2}}-\frac{y^{2}}{b^{2}}$$ = 1, we obtain a = 4 and b = 3.

We know that
a2 + b2 = c2
42 + 32 = 25
⇒ c = 5
Therefore, The coordinates of the foci are (± 5, 0).
The coordinates of the vertices are (± 4, 0).
Eccentricity e = $$\frac{c}{a}=\frac{5}{4}$$

Length of latusrectum = $$\frac{2 b^{2}}{a}=\frac{2 \times 9}{4}=\frac{9}{2}$$.

On comparing this equation with the standard equation of hyperbola i.e., $$\frac{y^{2}}{a^{2}}-\frac{x^{2}}{b^{2}}$$ = 1, we obtain a = 3 and b = √27.

We know that a2 + b2 = c2
c2 = 32 + (√27)2
= 9 + 27 = 36
⇒ c = 6
Therefore, the coordinates of the foci are (0, ± 6).
The coordinates of the vertices are (0, ± 3).

9y2 – 4x2 = 36.
The given equation is 9y2 – 4x2 = 36
It can be written as 9y2 – 4x2 = 36
or $$\frac{y^{2}}{4}-\frac{x^{2}}{9}$$ = 1

or $$\frac{y^{2}}{2^{2}}-\frac{x^{2}}{3^{2}}$$ = 1 ………….(i)
On comparing equation (i) with the standard equation of hyperbola i.e., $$\frac{y^{2}}{a^{2}}-\frac{x^{2}}{b^{2}}$$ = 1, we obtain a = 2 and b = 3.

We know that a2 + b2 = c2

The given equation is 16x2 – 9y2 = 576
It can be written as 16x2 – 9y2 = 576

⇒ $$\frac{x^{2}}{36}-\frac{y^{2}}{64}$$ = 1

⇒ $$\frac{x^{2}}{6^{2}}-\frac{y^{2}}{8^{2}}$$ = 1 ………………(i)

On comparing equation (i) with the standard equation of hyperbola i.e.,
$$\frac{x^{2}}{a^{2}}-\frac{y^{2}}{b^{2}}$$ = 1, we obtain a = 6 and b = 8.
We know that a2 + b2 = c2
c2 = 36 + 64 = 100
⇒ c = 10
Therefore, the coordinates of the foci are (± 10, 0).
The coordinates of the vertices are (± 6, 0).
Eccentricity, e = $$\frac{c}{a}=\frac{10}{6}=\frac{5}{3}$$.

Length of larus rectum = $$\frac{2 b^{2}}{a}=\frac{2 \times 64}{6}=\frac{64}{3}$$.

Question 5.
Find the coordinates of the foci and the vertices, the eccentricity, and the length of the latus rectum of the hyperbola 5y2 – 9x2 = 36.
The given equation is 5y2 – 9x2 = 36.
⇒ $$\frac{y^{2}}{\left(\frac{36}{5}\right)}-\frac{x^{2}}{4}$$ = 1

⇒ $$\frac{y^{2}}{\left(\frac{6}{\sqrt{5}}\right)^{2}}-\frac{x^{2}}{2^{2}}$$ = 1
On comparing equation (i) with the standard equation of hyperbola i.e., $$\frac{y^{2}}{a^{2}}-\frac{x^{2}}{b^{2}}$$ = 1,

we obtain a = $$\frac{6}{\sqrt{5}}$$ = and b = 2.

We know that a2 + b2 = c2.
∴ c2 = $$\frac{36}{5}+4=\frac{56}{5}$$

⇒ c = $$\sqrt{\frac{56}{5}}=\frac{2 \sqrt{14}}{\sqrt{5}}$$

Therefore, the coordinates of the foci are (0, ± $$\frac{2 \sqrt{14}}{\sqrt{5}}$$)

The coordinates of the vertices are (o, ± $$\frac{6}{\sqrt{5}}$$).

Eccentricity, e = $$\frac{c}{a}=\frac{\left(\frac{2 \sqrt{14}}{\sqrt{5}}\right)}{\left(\frac{6}{\sqrt{5}}\right)}=\frac{\sqrt{14}}{3}$$

Length of latus rectum = $$\frac{2 b^{2}}{a}=\frac{2 \times 4}{\left(\frac{6}{\sqrt{5}}\right)}=\frac{4 \sqrt{5}}{3}$$

The given equation is 49y2 – 16x2 = 784
it can be writtern as 49y2 – 16x2 = 784

or $$\frac{y^{2}}{16}-\frac{x^{2}}{49}$$ = 1

we obtain a = 4 and b = 7.

We knowthat, a2 + b2 = c2.
∴ c2 = 16 + 49 = 65
⇒ c = √65
Therefore, The coordinates of the foci are (0, ± √65
The coordinates of the vertices are (0, ± 4).

Eccentricity, e = $$\frac{c}{a}=\frac{\sqrt{65}}{4}$$.

Length of lattis rectum = $$\frac{2 b^{2}}{a}=\frac{2 \times 49}{4}=\frac{49}{2}$$.

Question 7.
Find the equation of the hyperbola satisfying the given conditions : Vertices (± 2, 0), foci (± 3, 0).
Given, vertices (± 2, 0), foci (± 3, 0)
Here, the vertices are on the x-axis.
Therefore, the equation of the hyperbola is of the form $$\frac{x^{2}}{a^{2}}-\frac{y^{2}}{b^{2}}$$ = 1.
Since the vertices are (± 2, 0), a = 2
Since the foci are (± 3, 0), c = 3
We know that a2 + b2 = c2.
∴ 22 + b2 = 32
b2 = 9 – 4 = 5
Thus, the equation of the hyperbola is $$\frac{x^{2}}{4}-\frac{y^{2}}{5}$$= 1.

Question 8.
Find the equation of the hyperbola satisfying the given conditions : Vertices (0, ± 5), foci (0, ± 8).
Ans.
We have,vertices (0, ± a) = (0, ± 5) = a = 5
and foci(0, ± c) = (0, ± 8)
⇒ c = 8
We know that, c2 = a2 + b2
⇒ 64 = 25 + b2
⇒ b2 = 64 – 25
⇒ b2 = 39
Here, the foci and vertices lie on Y-axis, therefore the equation of hyperbola is of the form $$\frac{y^{2}}{a^{2}}-\frac{x^{2}}{b^{2}}$$ = 1
i.e. $$\frac{y^{2}}{25}-\frac{x^{2}}{39}$$ = 1

Question 9.
Find the equation of the hyperbola satisfying the given conditions : Vertices (0, ± 3), foci (0, ± 5).
Given, vertices (0, ± 3), foci (0, ± 5)
Here, the vertices are on the y-axis.
Therefore, the equation of the hyperbola is of the form $$\frac{y^{2}}{a^{2}}-\frac{x^{2}}{b^{2}}$$ = 1.
Since the vertices are (0, ± 3), a = 3.
Since the foci are (0, ± 5), c = 5.
We know that a2 + b2 = c2.
32 + b2 = 52
⇒ b2 = 25 – 9 = 16.
Thus, the equation of the hyperbola is $$\frac{y^{2}}{9}-\frac{x^{2}}{16}$$ = 1.

Question 10.
Find the equation of the hyperbola satisfying the given conditions : Foci (± 5, 0), the transverse axis is of length 8.
Given, foci (± 5, 0), the transverse axis is of length 8.
Here, the foci are on the x-axis.
Therefore, the equation of the hyperbola is of the $$\frac{x^{2}}{a^{2}}-\frac{y^{2}}{b^{2}}$$ = 1.
Since the foci are (± 5, 0), c = 5.
Since the length of the transverse axis is 8, 2a = 8
⇒ a = 4.
We know that, a2 + b2 = c2.
∴ 42 + b2 = 52
⇒ b2 = 25 – 16 = 9

Question 11.
Find the equation of the hyperbola satisfying the given conditions : Foci (0, ± 13), the conjugate axis is of length 24. Answer.
Given, foci (0, ± 13), the conjugate axis is of length 24.
Here, the foci are on the y-axis.
Therefore, the equation of the hyperbola is of the form $$\frac{y^{2}}{a^{2}}-\frac{x^{2}}{b^{2}}$$ = 1.
a b2
Since the foci are (0, ± 13), c = 13.
Since the length of the conjugate axis is 24, 2b = 24
⇒ b = 12.
We know that a2 + b2 = c2.
a2 + 122 = 132
⇒ a2 = 169 – 144 = 25
Thus, the equation of the hyperbola is $$\frac{y^{2}}{25}-\frac{x^{2}}{144}$$ = 1.

Question 12.
Find the equation of the hyperbola satisfying the given conditions : Foci (± 3√5, 0), the latus rectum is of length 8.

Here, foci at (± 3√5, 0)
∴ (± c, 0) = (± 3√5, 0)
⇒ c = 3√5
Length of latus rectum = $$\frac{2 b^{2}}{a}$$ = 8 [given]
∴ b2 = 4a …………….(i)
We know that, c2 = a2 + b2
⇒ (3√5)2 = a2 + 4a [put c = 3√5]
⇒ a = – 9, a = 5
∴ a = 5 as a cannot be negative.
On putting a = 5 in eq. (i), we get
b2 = 5 × 4
⇒ b2 = 20
Since, foci lies on X-axis, therefore the equation of hyperbola is of the form
$$\frac{x^{2}}{a^{2}}-\frac{y^{2}}{b^{2}}$$ = 1

i.e., $$\frac{x^{2}}{25}-\frac{y^{2}}{20}$$ = 1 [Put a2 = 5 and b2 = 20]
⇒ 20x2 – 25y2 = 500
⇒ 4x2 – 5y2 = 100 [dividing both sides by 5]
which is required equation of hyperbola.

Question 13.
Find the equation of the hyperbola satisfying the given conditions : Foci (± 4, 0), the latus rectum is of length 12.
Given, foci (± 4, 0), the latus rectum axis is of length 12.
Here, the foci are on the x-axis.
Therefore, the equation of the hyperbola is of the form $$\frac{x^{2}}{a^{2}}-\frac{y^{2}}{b^{2}}$$ = 1.
Since the foci are (± 4, 0), c = 4.
Length of latus rectum =12
⇒ $$\frac{2 b^{2}}{a}$$ = 12
⇒ b2 = 6a
We know that a2 + b2 = c2.
a2 + 6a = 16
⇒ a2 + 6a – 16 = 0
⇒ a2 + 8a – 2a – 16 = 0
⇒ (a + 8) (a – 2) = 0
⇒ a = – 8, 2
Since a is non-negative, a = 2.
b2 = 6a = 6 × 2 = 12
Thus, the equation of the hyperbola is $$\frac{x^{2}}{4}-\frac{y^{2}}{12}$$ = 1.

Question 14.
Find the equation of the hyperbola satisfying the given conditions : Vertices (± 7, 0), e = $$\frac{4}{3}$$.
Given, vertices (± 7, 0), e = $$\frac{4}{3}$$.
Here, the foci are on the x-axis.
Therefore, the equation of the hyperbola is of the form $$\frac{x^{2}}{a^{2}}-\frac{y^{2}}{b^{2}}$$ = 1.
Since the vertices are (± 7, 0), a = 7.

Question 15.
Find the equation of the hyperbola satisfying the given conditions : Foci (0, ± √10), passing through (2, 3).
Since, the foci (0, ± √10) are along Y-axis, then equation of hyperbola is of the form

9(10 – a2) – 4a2 = a2(10 – a2)
⇒ 90 – 13a2 = 10a2 – a4
⇒ a4 – 23a2 + 90 = a
⇒ (a2 – 18) (a2 – 5) = 0
∴ a2 = 18 or 5
Since, e = $$\frac{\sqrt{10}}{a}$$ and e > 1
∴ $$\frac{\sqrt{10}}{a}$$ > 1
⇒ a < √10; a2 < 10
we reject a2 = 18
Thus, a2 = 5
∴ b2 = a2 e2 – a2
= 10 – 5 = 5
Hence, equation of hyperbola is $$\frac{y^{2}}{5}-\frac{x^{2}}{5}$$ = 1 [put a2 = b2 = 5]
or y2 – x2 = 5.
