The eccentricity of the hyperbola whose latus-rectum is half of its transverse axis, is
Given: Latus-rectum is half of its transverse axis
To find: eccentricity of the hyperbola
Formula used:
Standard form of the equation of hyperbola is,
Length of transverse axis is 2a
Latus-rectum of the hyperbola is
According to question:
Latus-rectum is half of its transverse axis
We know,
Hence, eccentricity is
