10-2. Parabola, Ellipse, Hyperbola
medium
The equation of the hyperbola whose foci are $(6, 4)$ and $(-4, 4)$ and eccentricity $2$ is given by
A
$12{x^2} - 4{y^2} - 24x + 32y - 127 = 0$
B
$12{x^2} + 4{y^2} + 24x - 32y - 127 = 0$
C
$12{x^2} - 4{y^2} - 24x - 32y + 127 = 0$
D
$12{x^2} - 4{y^2} + 24x + 32y + 127 = 0$
Solution
(a) Foci are $(6,4)$ and $(-4,4)$,
$e = 2$ and centre is $\left( {\frac{{6 – 4}}{2},4} \right) = (1,4)$
$⇒$ $6 = 1 + ae$
$⇒$ $ae = 5$
$⇒$ $a = \frac{5}{2}$and $b = \frac{5}{2}(\sqrt 3 )$
Hence the required equation is $\frac{{{{(x – 1)}^2}}}{{(25/4)}} – \frac{{{{(y – 4)}^2}}}{{(75/4)}} = 1$
or $12{x^2} – 4{y^2} – 24x + 32y – 127 = 0$.
