The equation of the director circle of the hyperbola x² 16 - y² 4 =1 is given by
Options
- Ax²+y²=16
- Bx²+y²=4
- Cx²+y²=20
- Dx²+y²=12
Correct answer
D. x²+y²=12
Step-by-step solution
Equation of director circle of hyperbola, x² a² - y² b² =1 is x²+y²=a²-b² Hence, director circle of x² 16 - y² 4 =1 is x²+y²=16-4 x²+y²=12
