If a hyperbola is passing through (3,2) and (-17,12), having its vertices, origin and its transverse axis on the x-axis, then the length of the transverse axis is -
Let the equation of ellipse be
\(\frac{x^2}{a^2}\) + \(\frac{y^2}{b^2}\) = 1 ....(1)
Ellipse is passing through points (4,3) & (-1,4) and major axis be x-axis.
∴ \(\frac{16}{a^2}\) + \(\frac{9}{b^2}\) = 1 ....(2)
\(\frac{1}{a^2}\) + \(\frac{16}{b^2}\) = 1 ....(3)
Multiplying equation (3) by 16,we get
\(\frac{16}{a^2}\) + \(\frac{256}{b^2}\) = 16...
For the given ellipse, `(x^(2))/(25)+(y^(2))/(16)=1, e=sqrt(1-(16)/(25))=(3)/(5)`. So, eccentricity of hyperbola `=(5)/(3)`.
Let the hyperbola be, `(x^(2))/(A^(2))-(y^(2))/(B^(2))=1 " " ...(1)`
Then, `B^(2)=A^(2)((25)/(9)-1)=(16)/(9)A^(2)`. Also, foci of ellipse are `(+-3,0)`.
As, hyperbola passes...
