For the hyperbola 3X2 – 2y2 = 1.
Find: (i) the lengths of the transverse and conjugate axes.
(ii) the co-ordinates of foci.
(iii) the co-ordinates of vertices.
(iv) the eccentricity.
(v) the length of latus rectum.
Equation of the hyperbola is
which is of the standard form
Also,
(i) Length of transverse axis
Length of conjugate axis = 2b =
(ii) The co-ordinates of foci are:
(iii) The co-ordinates of vertices are:
(iv) Let the eccentricity be e.
∴
(v) Length of latus rectum =
