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}$ = $\frac{{2.16}}{3} = \frac{{32}}{3}$.
