Find the equation of the hyperbola, referred to its principal axes as axes of coordinates, in the following cases: (i) the distance between the foci = 16 and eccentricity = √2 (ii) conjugate axis is 5 and the distance between foci = 13

(i) the distance between the

   

Given:

Distance between the foci

   

Eccentricity

   

Let us compare with the equation of the form

Distance between the foci is

   

So,

   

   

Or,

   

   

Or,

   

   

We know that,

   

So,

   

   

Hence,

   

The Equation of hyperbola is given as

   

∴ The Equation of hyperbola is

   

(ii) conjugate axis is

   

and the distance between foci

   

Given:

Conjugate axis

   

Distance between foci

   

Let us compare with the equation of the form

Distance between the foci is

   

Length of conjugate axis is
