10-2. Parabola, Ellipse, Hyperbola
medium

The distance between the foci of a hyperbola is double the distance between its vertices and the length of its conjugate axis is $6$. The equation of the hyperbola referred to its axes as axes of co-ordinates is

A

$3{x^2} - {y^2} = 3$

B

${x^2} - 3{y^2} = 3$

C

$3{x^2} - {y^2} = 9$

D

${x^2} - 3{y^2} = 9$

Solution

(c) According to given conditions, $2ae = 2.2a$ or $e = 2 $ and $2b = 6 ⇒ b = 3.$ 

Hence, $a = \frac{3}{{\sqrt 3 }} = \sqrt 3 $

Therefore, equation is $\frac{{{x^2}}}{3} – \frac{{{y^2}}}{9} = 1$

$i.e.$, $3{x^2} – {y^2} = 9$.
