Find the equation of the hyperbola whose
focus is (1, 1) directrix is 2x + y = 1 and eccentricity =
Given: Equation of directrix of a hyperbola is 2x + y – 1 = 0. Focus of hyperbola is (1, 1) and eccentricity (e) =
To find: equation of hyperbola
Let M be the point on directrix and P(x, y) be any point of hyperbola
Formula used:
where e is eccentricity, PM is perpendicular from any point P on hyperbola to the directrix
Therefore,
Squaring both sides:
{∵ (a – b)2 = a2 + b2 + 2ab &
(a + b + c)2 = a2 + b2 + c2 + 2ab + 2bc + 2ac}
⇒ 5{x2 + 1 – 2x + y2 + 1 – 2y} = 3{4x2 + y2+ 1 + 4xy – 2y – 4x}
⇒ 5x2 + 5 – 10x + 5y2 + 5 – 10y = 12x2 + 3y2 + 3 + 12xy – 6y – 12x
⇒ 5x2 + 5 – 10x + 5y2 + 5 – 10y – 12x2 – 3y2 – 3 – 12xy + 6y + 12x = 0
⇒ – 7x2 + 2y2 + 2x – 4y – 12xy + 7 = 0
⇒ 7x2 – 2y2 – 2x + 4y + 12xy – 7 = 0
This is the required equation of hyperbola.
