COMEDK · Maths · 15. Hyperbola

Equation of a hyperbola having foci at \((0, \pm \sqrt{10})\) and passing through the point \((2,3)\) is

  1. A \(\dfrac{x^2}{5}+\dfrac{y^2}{5}=1\)
  2. B \(y^2-x^2=5\)
  3. C \(\dfrac{x^2}{5}-\dfrac{y^2}{5}=1\)
  4. D \(\dfrac{x^2}{\sqrt{5}}-\dfrac{y^2}{\sqrt{5}}=1\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(y^2-x^2=5\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The foci of the hyperbola are at \((0, \pm \sqrt{10})\), which implies the hyperbola is vertical with its center at \((0,0)\). The equation is of the form \(\dfrac{y^2}{a^2} - \dfrac{x^2}{b^2} = 1\). The distance of the foci from the center is \(ae = \sqrt{10}\), so…
