Question : 49 of 71
Marks: +1, -0
y29x227\frac{y^2}{9} - \frac{x^2}{27} = 1
Solution:  
Given equation of hyperbola is y29x227\frac{y^2}{9} - \frac{x^2}{27} = 1 which is of the form y2a2x2b2\frac{y^2}{a^2} - \frac{x^2}{b^2} = 1.
The foci and vertices of the hyperbola lie on y-axis.
Now, a2a^2 = 9 ⇒ a = 3 and b2b^2 = 27 ⇒ b = 3 3\sqrt{3}
Also, c2c^2 = a2+b2a^2 + b^2 = 9 + 27 = 36 ⇒ c = 6
So, coordinates of foci are (0, ±c) i.e. (0, ±6)
Coordinates of vertices are (0, ±a) i.e. (0, ±3)
Eccentricity (e) = ca\frac{c}{a} = 63\frac{6}{3} = 2
Length of latus rectum = 2b2a\frac{2b^2}{a} = 2×273\frac{2 \times 27}{3} = 18.
