Conjugate Hyperbola

Hyperbola of Class 11

Conjugate Hyperbola

Equation of tangent = 1 and Equation of tangent = −1 are conjugate hyperbolas.

Eccentricity (e′) of conjugate hyperbola Equation of tangent = −1 is given by

(e′)2 = 1 + a2/b2

(a) centre (0, 0)

(b) foci (0, ±be′)

(c) Directrices y = ±b/e′

(d) Vertices (0, ±b)

(e) Equation of transverse axis x = 0

Length of transverse axis = 2b

(f) Equation of conjugate axis y = 0

Length of conjugate axis = 2a

(g) Length of Latus rectum = 2a2/b
