  1. $\left( \pm \sqrt { 13 } ,0 \right) $

  2. $\left( \pm \dfrac { \sqrt { 13 } }{ 6 } ,0 \right) $

  3. $\left( 0,\pm \dfrac { \sqrt { 13 } }{ 6 } \right) $

  4. None of the above

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The given equation of hyperbola can be re-written as,

$\dfrac { x^{ 2 } }{ \left( \dfrac { 1 }{ 2 }  \right) ^{ 2 } } -\dfrac { { y }^{ 2 } }{ \left( \dfrac { 1 }{ 3 }  \right) ^{ 2 } } =1$
So, the hyperbola has x-axis as the transverse axis, with $a=\dfrac { 1 }{ 2 } $
and $b=\dfrac { 1 }{ 3 }$ 

And, $e=\displaystyle \sqrt { 1+\dfrac { b^{ 2 } }{ a^{ 2 } }  }$

 $ =\displaystyle \sqrt { 1+\dfrac { 4 }{ 9 }  } =\dfrac { \sqrt { 13 }  }{ 3 }$ 

$\therefore$ Focii $=(\pm ae,0)=\left(\pm \dfrac { \sqrt { 13 }  }{ 6 } ,0\right)$
Hence, B is correct.

  1. $(2,3)$

  2. $(\pm\sqrt3,3)$

  3. $(2,\pm3)$

  4. $(1,2)$,$(1,-6)$

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Hyperbola $\dfrac{y^2}{a^2}-\dfrac{x^2}{b^2}=1$

It has center at $(0,0)$ and vertex at $(0,\pm a)$.
For hyperbola $\dfrac{(y+2)^{2}}{16}-\dfrac{(x-1)^{2}}{3}=1$
Its center shifted to $(1,-2)$.
So, vertex will also shift by $(1,-2)$. 
So, vertex is $(0,\pm a)+(1,-2)=(0,\pm 4)+(1,-2) $
$\Rightarrow  (1,2)$ and $(1,-6)$

For hyperbola  $-\dfrac{(x-1)^2}{3}+\dfrac{(y+2)^2}{16}=1$ centre is

  1. $(1,-2)$

  2. $(0,0)$

  3. $(1,-1)$

  4. $(2,-2)$

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The given hyperbola is $-\dfrac{(x-1)^2}{3} + \dfrac{(y+2)^2}{16} = 1$ is a conjugate hyperbola.


It can be written as $\dfrac{(x-1)^2}{3} - \dfrac{(y+2)^2}{16} = -1$  ......$(1)$

Now let $x-1 = X$ and $y+2 = Y$

Putting values of $x-1$ and $y+2$ in eq. $(2)$ we get,

$\rightarrow  \ \dfrac{(X)^2}{3} - \dfrac{(Y)^2}{16} = -1$  ....$(2)$

We can see the eq$(2)$ is a standard form of conjugate hyperbola and it's center lies at origin $(0,0)$

So $X =0 , Y = 0$ is the center of the hyperbola given in eq.$(2)$

$\rightarrow$ $ X = x-1 = 0$ or $x = 1$

$\rightarrow$ $ Y = y+2 = 0$ or $y = -2$

Hence center of the given hyperbola in eq. $(1)$ is $(1,-2)$. So correct option is $A$.

mathematics and statistics hyperbola parametric equation of the hyperbola forms of equations of a hyperbola equations of hyperbola

  1. $\dfrac{3}{5}$

  2. $\dfrac{5}{3}$

  3. $\dfrac{4}{5}$

  4. $\dfrac{5}{4}$

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:
Equation of hyperbola: $16x^2-9y^2=1$
can be written as $\cfrac{x^2}{\frac{1}{16}}+\cfrac{y^2}{\frac{1}{9}}=1$
$e^2=1+\cfrac{b^2}{a^2}=1+\cfrac{16}{9}=\cfrac{25}9$
or, $e=\cfrac53$
Hence, B is the correct option.

For hyperbola  $-\dfrac{x^2}{16}+\dfrac{y^2}{25}=1$ distance between directrices is 

mathematics and statistics hyperbola parametric equation of the hyperbola forms of equations of a hyperbola equations of hyperbola

  1. $\dfrac{50}{\sqrt{41}}$

  2. $\dfrac{16}{\sqrt{41}}$

  3. $\dfrac{25}{\sqrt{41}}$

  4. $\dfrac{32}{\sqrt{41}}$

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:
Given equation is $-\dfrac {x^2}{16}+\dfrac {y^2}{25}=1$
$\Rightarrow \dfrac {y^2}{25}-\dfrac {x^2}{16}=1$
Distance between directrix is   $\dfrac{2a}{\sqrt{a^2+b^2}}$
Here $a=25, b=16$
So, answer is $= \dfrac{50}{\sqrt{41}}$.

  1. $(-1,-2)$

  2. $(1,-1)$

  3. $(1,-2)$

  4. $(0,0)$

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The given hyperbola is $-\dfrac{(x-1)^2}{3} + \dfrac{(y+2)^2}{16} = 1$ is a conjugate hyperbola.


It can be written as $\dfrac{(x-1)^2}{3} - \dfrac{(y+2)^2}{16} = -1$  ......$(1)$

Now let $x-1 = X$ and $y+2 = Y$

Putting values of $x-1$ and $y+2$ in eq. $(2)$ we get,

$\rightarrow  \ \dfrac{(X)^2}{3} - \dfrac{(Y)^2}{16} = -1$  ....$(2)$

We can see the eq$(2)$ is a standard form of conjugate hyperbola and it's center lies at origin $(0,0)$

So $X =0 , Y = 0$ is the center of the hyperbola given in eq.$(2)$

$\rightarrow$ $ X = x-1 = 0$ or $x = 1$

$\rightarrow$ $ Y = y+2 = 0$ or $y = -2$

Hence center of the given hyperbola in eq. $(1)$ is $(1,-2)$. So correct option is $C$.
