In a given standrard hyperbola x2a2−y2b2=1.What is the length of transverse axis?
2a
Tranverse axis is the one which pass through centre of the hyperbola
and cut hyperbola at 2 real points, the vertices of the hyperbola.
In standard hyperbola of the form x2a2−y2b2=1,
the vertices are (a,0) and (-a,0) and hence the length of transverse axis=2a
