If the eccentricity of a hyperbola is 5 3 , then the eccentricity of its conjugate hyperbola is
Options
- A5 3
- B5 4
- C5 2
- D8 5
Correct answer
B. 5 4
Step-by-step solution
Eccentricity of given hyperbola = 5 3 Let, eccentricity of its conjugate hyperbola =e So, 1 ( 5 3 )^2 + 1 e^2 =1 9 25 + 1 e^2 =1 1 e^2 =1- 9 25 1 e^2 = 16 25 e^2= 25 16 e= 5 4 Hence, eccentricity of conjugate hyperbola = 5 4
