10-2. Parabola, Ellipse, Hyperbola
easy

The equation of the hyperbola referred to its axes as axes of coordinate and whose distance between the foci is $16$ and eccentricity is $\sqrt 2 $, is

A

${x^2} - {y^2} = 16$

B

${x^2} - {y^2} = 32$

C

${x^2} - 2{y^2} = 16$

D

${y^2} - {x^2} = 16$

Solution

(b) $2ae = 16,$ $e = \sqrt 2 $

==> $a = 4\sqrt 2 $ and $b = 4\sqrt 2 $ 

equation is $\frac{{{x^2}}}{{{{(4\sqrt 2 )}^2}}} – \frac{{{y^2}}}{{{{(4\sqrt 2 )}^2}}} = 1$

==> ${x^2} – {y^2} = 32$.
