AP EAMCET · Maths · Hyperbola

If one of the roots of the equation \(x^2-5 x-14=0\) is the length of the semi conjugate axis of the hyperbola \(\frac{x^2}{a^2}-\frac{y^2}{b^2}=1\) and the square of the other root is the semi-transverse axis then the focus of the hyperbola that lies on the positive \(x\)-axis is

  1. A \((5,0)\)
  2. B \((\sqrt{65}, 0)\)
  3. C \((7,0)\)
  4. D \((\sqrt{74}, 0)\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \((\sqrt{65}, 0)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given equation is \(x^2-5 x-14=0\) how roots are \(-2,7\) Let \(b=7\) and \(a=4\) hence \(C=\sqrt{7^2+9^2}=\sqrt{65}\) hence \(S=(\sqrt{65}, 0)\)
