Let the foci of a hyperbola be (1, 14) and (1, –12). If it passes through the point (1, 6),
then the length of its latus rectum is:
- A.
25/6
- B.
24/5
- C.
288/5
(Correct Answer) - D.
144/5
Explanation
Foci of hyperbola (1, 14) (1, −12)
x = 1 be the transverse axis
SP−S′P=2b
⇒2b=∣8−18∣
⇒b=5
SS′=2be
26=2be
be=13
e=513
∴LengthofLR
=b2a2
=b2k2(λ2−1)
=2(5)25(144)=25288
