Find the standard form of the equation of the hyperbola sati
Find the standard form of the equation of the hyperbola satisfying the given conditions. Endpoints of transverse axis: (0, -10), (0,10); asymptote: y =5/8 x
Solution
centre=(0,0)
transverse axis is the distance between the vertices i.e 20.
therefore, a=20/2=10.
a/b = 5/8
=> b = 8*10/5 = 16
therefore equation of hyperbola is [y/(10^2) - x/(16^2)] =1
