Question

The latus-rectum of the hyperbola 16x² − 9y² = 144 is
(a) 16/3
(b) 32/3
(c) 8/3
(d) 4/3

Solution

(b) 32/3

The standard form of the hyperbola $16 x^{2} - 9 y^{2} = 144$ is $\frac{x^{2}}{9} - \frac{y^{2}}{16} = 1$ .
Here, $a^{2} = 9, b^{2} = 16$
Latus rectum of the hyperbola = $\frac{2 b^{2}}{a} = \frac{2 \times 16}{3} = \frac{32}{3}$
