10-2. Parabola, Ellipse, Hyperbola
medium
If the centre, vertex and focus of a hyperbola be $(0, 0), (4, 0)$ and $(6, 0)$ respectively, then the equation of the hyperbola is
A
$4{x^2} - 5{y^2} = 8$
B
$4{x^2} - 5{y^2} = 80$
C
$5{x^2} - 4{y^2} = 80$
D
$5{x^2} - 4{y^2} = 8$
Solution
(c) Centre $(0, 0)$, vertex $(4,0)$
==> $a = 4$and focus $(6,0)$
==> $ae = 4$
==> $e = \frac{3}{2}$.
Therefore $b = 2\sqrt5$
Hence required equation is $\frac{{{x^2}}}{{16}} – \frac{{{y^2}}}{{20}} = 1$
$i.e.$, $5{x^2} – 4{y^2} = 80$.
