If the eccentricity of the hyperbola , passing through , satisfies , then the length of the latus rectum of the hyperbola is:
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
A.
Step-by-step solution
The given equation of the hyperbola is .
Since it passes through , we have:
The eccentricity satisfies .
Since the eccentricity of a hyperbola is , we get .
We know that .
Substituting into the first equation:
Then, .
The second hyperbola is given by .
Substituting the values of and :
Here, and .
The length of the latus rectum is .
Length of latus rectum .
