Which is the equation of a hyperbola with directrices at y = ±2 and foci at (0, 6) and (0, −6)?

Sagot :

Given:

Hyperbola with directrices at y = ±2 and foci at (0, 6) and (0, −6).

To find:

The equation of hyperbola.

Solution:

We have, directrices at y = ±2 so this hyparabola is along the y-axis.

The standard form of hyperbola is

[tex]\dfrac{(y-k)^2}{a^2}-\dfrac{(x-h)^2}{b^2}=1[/tex]      ...(i)

where, (h,k) is center, foci are [tex](h,k\pm c)[/tex] and directrix are [tex]y=k\pm \dfrac{a^2}{c}[/tex].

On comparing foci, we get

[tex](h,k\pm c)=(0,\pm 6)[/tex]

[tex]h=0,k=0,c=6[/tex]

On comparing directrix we get

[tex]k\pm \dfrac{a^2}{c}=\pm 2[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{a^2}{c}=2[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{a^2}{6}=2[/tex]

[tex]a^2=12[/tex]

Now,

[tex]a^2+b^2=c^2[/tex]

[tex]12+b^2=(6)^2[/tex]

[tex]b^2=36-12[/tex]

[tex]b^2=24[/tex]

Putting [tex]h=0,k=0,a^2=12,b^2=24[/tex], we get

[tex]\dfrac{(y-0)^2}{12}-\dfrac{(x-0)^2}{24}=1[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{y^2}{12}-\dfrac{x^2}{24}=1[/tex]

Therefore, the equation of hyperbola is [tex]\dfrac{y^2}{12}-\dfrac{x^2}{24}=1[/tex].
