If the focal chord of the hyperbola subtends a right angle at the center, then its eccentricity is

  1. A e=3-12
  2. B e=5-12
  3. C e=5+12
  4. D e=3+12
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) e=5+12

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

DTP REQUIRED... eccentricity of hyperbola=1+b2a2 Distance AB=x2-x12+y2-y12 ⇒ae-ae2+-b2a-b2a2 ⇒4b4a2=2b2a Now, tan 45°=b2a 1=b2aae ⇒e=b2a2 Now, e=1+b2a2 e2=1+b2a2 ⇒b2a2=e2-1 e=e2-1 ⇒e2-e-1=0 Which is quadratic equation compare it…
