A hyperbola centered at the origin has a vertex at (0, 36) and a focus at (0, 39). which are the equations of the directrices? x = ± y = ± x = ± y = ±

Answer :

The equation of directrix is D. y=± 432/13.

Definition of hyperbola -

  • A plane curve generated by a point so moving that the difference of the distances from two fixed points is a constant .
  • A curve formed by the intersection of a double right circular cone with a plane that cuts both halves of the cone.

1. The vertex i at (0, 36) and a focus at (0, 39), then you have:

  a=36

a²=1296

2. The equation of directrix is:

y =  a² =c

c  =  39

y =  1296/39

y  =  432/13

Therefore, the answer is the option D, which is: D. y=± 432/13
