The equation represents a hyperbola centered at the origin with a directrix of . what is the value of b? 10 16 20 26

Sagot :

the value of b is = 10.

The equation of a hyperbola is x^2/24^2 - y^2/ (10)^2= 1.

What is hyperbola?

The geometric characteristics of a hyperbola or the equations for which it is the solution set characterize it as a particular kind of smooth curve that lies in a plane. Mirror reflections of each other that resemble two infinite bows make up a hyperbola's two connected components or branches.

What is the general formula for hyperbola?

The general formula for hyperbola = (x - h)²/a²- (y - k)²/(b)² = 1

According to the given information:

x²/24 - y²/(b)² = 1

(x - 0)²/24 - (y -0)²/(b)² = 1

a=24,h=0 and k=0

Now equation of the directrix

x=a²/c...(1)

and we know x=576/26...(2)

Therefore from 1 and 2 we get

24²/c=576/26.

isolate the c so we get,

C=26

C= center of focii

c = √(a² + b³)

c² = a² + b²

b = c² - a²

b = 10

So we get the value of b is 10.

Therefore the equation of a hyperbola is x²/24² - y²/ (10)² =  1.
