Question : 58 of 71
Marks: +1, -0
Foci (0, ±13), the conjugate axis is of length 24.
Solution:  
Here foci are (0, ±13) which lie on y-axis.
So the equation of hyperbola in standard form is y2a2x2b2\frac{y^2}{a^2} - \frac{x^2}{b^2} = 1.
Now, foci are (0, ±13) ⇒ c = 13
Length of conjugate axis is 2b = 24 ⇒ b = 12
We know that c2c^2 = a2+b2a^2 + b^2
(13)2(13)^2 = a2+(12)2a^2 + (12)^2a2a^2 = 169 – 144 = 25
Thus required equation of parabola is
y225x2144\frac{y^2}{25} - \frac{x^2}{144} = 1.
