The distance between the foci of a hyperbola is 16 and its eccentricity is , then equation of the hyperbola is
Given: Distance between foci is 16 and eccentricity is
To find: equation of the hyperbola
Formula used:
Standard form of the equation of hyperbola is,
Distance between foci is given by 2ae
According to question:
2ae = 16
⇒ a2 = 32
We know,
b2 = a2(e2 – 1)
⇒ b2 = 32
Hence, equation of hyperbola is:
⇒ x2 – y2 = 32
