A hyperbola passes through the points (3, 2) and (–17, 12) and has its centre at origin and transverse axis is along x- axis. The length of its transverse axis is
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
Let the equation of hyperbola is 
But it passes through (3, 2) ⇒ ⇒ 
.....(i)
Also its passes through (–17, 12)
⇒ ⇒ 
.....(ii)
Solving these, we get 
and 
Hence length of transverse axis 
.
