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 $16{x^2} – 9{y^2} = 144$.
