Find the equation of the hyperbola whose

focus is at (4, 2), centre at (6, 2) and e = 2.

Given: Foci is (4, 2), e = 2 and center at (6, 2)


To find: equation of the hyperbola


Formula used:


The standard form of the equation of the hyperbola is,



Center is the mid-point of two vertices


The distance between two vertices is 2a


The distance between the foci and vertex is ae – a and b2 = a2(e2 – 1)


The distance between two points (m, n) and (a, b) is given by


Mid-point theorem:


Mid-point of two points (m, n) and (a, b) is given by



Therefore


Let one of the two foci is (m, n) and the other one is (4, 2)


Since, Centre(6, 2)





Foci are (4, 2) and (8, 2)


The distance between the foci is 2ae and Foci are (4, 2) and (8, 2)











a2 = 1


b2 = a2(e2 – 1)



b2 = 4 – 1


b2 = 3


The equation of hyperbola:





3(x2 + 36 – 12x) – (y2 + 4 – 4y) = 3


3x2 + 108 – 36x – y2 – 4 + 4y – 3 = 0


3x2 – y2 – 36x + 4y + 101 = 0


Hence, required equation of hyperbola is 3x2 – y2 – 36x + 4y + 101 = 0
