The eccentricity the hyperbola is

Given: Equation of hyperbola


To find: Eccentricity of the hyperbola




Squaring both sides:








Squaring both sides:






From (1) and (2):





Formula used:


For hyperbola


Eccentricity(e) is given by,



Here a = a, b = a





Therefore,




Hence, the eccentricity of the hyperbola is
