10-2. Parabola, Ellipse, Hyperbola
easy
The latus-rectum of the hyperbola $16{x^2} - 9{y^2} = $ $144$, is
A
$\frac{{16}}{3}$
B
$\frac{{32}}{3}$
C
$\frac{8}{3}$
D
$\frac{4}{3}$
Solution
(b) The given equation of hyperbola is
$16{x^2} – 9{y^2} = 144$
$ \Rightarrow \,\frac{{{x^2}}}{9} – \frac{{{y^2}}}{{16}} = 1$
$L.R.$ $ = \frac{{2{b^2}}}{a}$ = $\frac{{2.16}}{3} = \frac{{32}}{3}$.
