10-2. Parabola, Ellipse, Hyperbola
easy
The equation of a hyperbola, whose foci are $(5, 0)$ and $(-5, 0)$ and the length of whose conjugate axis is $8$, is
A
$9{x^2} - 16{y^2} = 144$
B
$16{x^2} - 9{y^2} = 144$
C
$9{x^2} - 16{y^2} = 12$
D
$16{x^2} - 9{y^2} = 12$
Solution
(b) $b = 4$
$⇒$ $2ae = 10$
$⇒$ $16 = 25 – {a^2}$
$⇒$ $a = 3$
Hence the hyperbola is $16{x^2} – 9{y^2} = 144$.
