A hyperbola whose transverse axis is along the major axis of the conic x23+y24=4 and has vertices at the foci of the conic. If the eccentricity of the hyperbola is 32, then which of the following points does not lie on the hyperbola ?
  1. 5,22
  2. ( 0,2 )
  3. 5,23
  4. 10,23

Solution

Given conic is x212+y216=1

e= 1-1216=12

Foci 0,2 and 0,-2.

So, transverse axis of hyperbola=2b=4.

b=2

Given e=32

And a2=b2e2-1

a2=4 94-1

a2=5

∴ The equation of hyperbola is x25-y24=-1.

Now, Check options.

Clearly, the point 5,23 does not satisfy above equation.
