(i) Centre (–1, 2), e =
, foci = (4, 2), (–6, 2), x = –
and x = 
(ii) 7x 2 – 2y 2 + 12xy – 2x + 14y – 22 = 0
Sol. (i) Here 16x 2 + 32x + 16 – (9y 2 – 36y + 36) – 144 = 0 or 16(x + 1) 2 – 9(y – 2) 2 = 144
∴
= 1
Putting x + 1 = X and y – 2 = Y, the equation becomes
= 1 which is in the standard form.
Here a 2 = 9 and b 2 = 16
b 2 = a 2 (e 2 – 1), we get 16 = 9(e 2 – 1)
∴ e 2 – 1 = 
∴ e 2 =
, i.e. e = 
Now, centre = (0, 0) X, Y = (–1, 2)
{ when X = 0, x + 1 = X gives x = –1 and when Y = 0, y – 2 = Y gives y = 2}
foci = (±ae, 0) X, Y =
= (± 5, 0) X, Y = (– 1 ± 5, 2) = (4, 2), (–6, 2)
Directrices in X, Y coordinates have the equations
X ±
= 0 or x + 1 ±
= 0 i.e. x + 1 ±
= 0
∴ x = –
and x = 
(ii) by PS = ePM (PS = ePM ls )
=
⇒ 7x 2 – 2y 2 + 12xy – 2x + 14y – 22 = 0.
