If \((8,2)\) is a point on the hyperbola whose length of the transverse axis is 12 and conjugate axis is \(x=0\), then the eccentricity of that hyperbola is

  1. A \(\frac{2 \sqrt{2}}{7}\)
  2. B \(\frac{8}{5}\)
  3. C \(\frac{2 \sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{7}}\)
  4. D \(\frac{\sqrt{8}}{5}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\frac{2 \sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{7}}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let assume equation of hyperbola \(\frac{x^2}{a^2}-\frac{y^2}{b^2}=1\) Given that length of transverse axis, \(2 a=12\) or \(a=6\) \(\because\) Point \((8,2)\) lies on hyperbola, then it must satisfy the equation of hyperbola i.e., \(\frac{(8)^2}{a^2}-\frac{(2)^2}{b^2}=1\) or…
