EXERCISE 27.1 PAGE NO: 27.13
1. The equation of the directrix of a hyperbola is x – y + 3 = 0. Its focus is (-1, 1) and eccentricity 3. Find the equation of the hyperbola.
Solution:
Given:
The equation of the directrix of a hyperbola => x – y + 3 = 0.
Focus = (-1, 1) and
Eccentricity = 3
Now, let us find the equation of the hyperbola
Let ‘M’ be the point on directrix and P(x, y) be any point of the hyperbola.
By using the formula,
e = PF/PM
PF = ePM [where, e is eccentricity, PM is perpendicular from any point P on hyperbola to the directrix]
So,

[We know that (a – b)2 = a2 + b2 + 2ab &(a + b + c)2 = a2 + b2 + c2 + 2ab + 2bc + 2ac]
So, 2{x2 + 1 + 2x + y2 + 1 – 2y} = 9{x2 + y2+ 9 + 6x – 6y – 2xy}
2x2 + 2 + 4x + 2y2 + 2 – 4y = 9x2 + 9y2+ 81 + 54x – 54y – 18xy
2x2 + 4 + 4x + 2y2– 4y – 9x2 – 9y2 – 81 – 54x + 54y + 18xy = 0
– 7x2 – 7y2 – 50x + 50y + 18xy – 77 = 0
7(x2 + y2) – 18xy + 50x – 50y + 77 = 0
∴The equation of hyperbola is 7(x2 + y2) – 18xy + 50x – 50y + 77 = 0
2. Find the equation of the hyperbola whose
(i) focus is (0, 3), directrix is x + y – 1 = 0 and eccentricity = 2
(ii) focus is (1, 1), directrix is 3x + 4y + 8 = 0 and eccentricity = 2
(iii) focus is (1, 1) directrix is 2x + y = 1 and eccentricity =√3
(iv) focus is (2, -1), directrix is 2x + 3y = 1 and eccentricity = 2
(v) focus is (a, 0), directrix is 2x + 3y = 1 and eccentricity = 2
(vi)focus is (2, 2), directrix is x + y = 9 and eccentricity = 2
Solution:
(i) focus is (0, 3), directrix is x + y – 1 = 0 and eccentricity = 2
Given:
Focus = (0, 3)
Directrix => x + y – 1 = 0
Eccentricity = 2
Now, let us find the equation of the hyperbola
Let ‘M’ be the point on directrix and P(x, y) be any point of the hyperbola.
By using the formula,
e = PF/PM
PF = ePM [where, e is eccentricity, PM is perpendicular from any point P on hyperbola to the directrix]
So,

[We know that (a – b)2 = a2 + b2 + 2ab &(a + b + c)2 = a2 + b2 + c2 + 2ab + 2bc + 2ac]
So, 2{x2 + y2 + 9 – 6y} = 4{x2 + y2 + 1 – 2x – 2y + 2xy}
2x2 + 2y2 + 18 – 12y = 4x2 + 4y2+ 4 – 8x – 8y + 8xy
2x2 + 2y2 + 18 – 12y – 4x2 – 4y2 – 4 – 8x + 8y – 8xy = 0
– 2x2 – 2y2 – 8x – 4y – 8xy + 14 = 0
-2(x2 + y2 – 4x + 2y + 4xy – 7) = 0
x2 + y2 – 4x + 2y + 4xy – 7 = 0
∴The equation of hyperbola is x2 + y2 – 4x + 2y + 4xy – 7 = 0
(ii) focus is (1, 1), directrix is 3x + 4y + 8 = 0 and eccentricity = 2
Focus = (1, 1)
Directrix => 3x + 4y + 8 = 0
Eccentricity = 2
Now, let us find the equation of the hyperbola
Let ‘M’ be the point on directrix and P(x, y) be any point of the hyperbola.
By using the formula,
e = PF/PM
PF = ePM [where, e is eccentricity, PM is perpendicular from any point P on hyperbola to the directrix]
So,

[We know that (a – b)2 = a2 + b2 + 2ab &(a + b + c)2 = a2 + b2 + c2 + 2ab + 2bc + 2ac]
25{x2 + 1 – 2x + y2 + 1 – 2y} = 4{9x2 + 16y2+ 64 + 24xy + 64y + 48x}
25x2 + 25 – 50x + 25y2 + 25 – 50y = 36x2 + 64y2 + 256 + 96xy + 256y + 192x
25x2 + 25 – 50x + 25y2 + 25 – 50y – 36x2 – 64y2 – 256 – 96xy – 256y – 192x = 0
– 11x2 – 39y2 – 242x – 306y – 96xy – 206 = 0
11x2 + 96xy + 39y2 + 242x + 306y + 206 = 0

PF = ePM [where, e is eccentricity, PM is perpendicular from any point P on hyperbola to the directrix]
So,

[We know that (a – b)2 = a2 + b2 + 2ab &(a + b + c)2 = a2 + b2 + c2 + 2ab + 2bc + 2ac]
5{x2 + 1 – 2x + y2 + 1 – 2y} = 3{4x2 + y2+ 1 + 4xy – 2y – 4x}
5x2 + 5 – 10x + 5y2 + 5 – 10y = 12x2 + 3y2 + 3 + 12xy – 6y – 12x
5x2 + 5 – 10x + 5y2 + 5 – 10y – 12x2 – 3y2 – 3 – 12xy + 6y + 12x = 0
– 7x2 + 2y2 + 2x – 4y – 12xy + 7 = 0
7x2 + 12xy – 2y2 – 2x + 4y– 7 = 0

13{x2 + 4 – 4x + y2 + 1 + 2y} = 4{4x2 + 9y2 + 1 + 12xy – 6y – 4x}
13x2 + 52 – 52x + 13y2 + 13 + 26y = 16x2 + 36y2 + 4 + 48xy – 24y – 16x
13x2 + 52 – 52x + 13y2 + 13 + 26y – 16x2 – 36y2 – 4 – 48xy + 24y + 16x = 0
– 3x2 – 23y2 – 36x + 50y – 48xy + 61 = 0

45{x2 + a2 – 2ax + y2} = 16{4x2 + y2 + a2 – 4xy – 2ay + 4ax}
45x2 + 45a2 – 90ax + 45y2 = 64x2 + 16y2 + 16a2 – 64xy – 32ay + 64ax
45x2 + 45a2 – 90ax + 45y2 – 64x2 – 16y2 – 16a2 + 64xy + 32ay – 64ax = 0
19x2 – 29y2 + 154ax – 32ay – 64xy – 29a2 = 0

We know that, 2ae = 13
ae = 13/2
a2e2 = 169/4
b2 = a2(e2 – 1)

About RD Sharma
RD Sharma isn’t the kind of author you’d bump into at lit fests. But his bestselling books have helped many CBSE students lose their dread of maths. Sunday Times profiles the tutor turned internet star
He dreams of algorithms that would give most people nightmares. And, spends every waking hour thinking of ways to explain concepts like ‘series solution of linear differential equations’. Meet Dr Ravi Dutt Sharma — mathematics teacher and author of 25 reference books — whose name evokes as much awe as the subject he teaches. And though students have used his thick tomes for the last 31 years to ace the dreaded maths exam, it’s only recently that a spoof video turned the tutor into a YouTube star.
R D Sharma had a good laugh but said he shared little with his on-screen persona except for the love for maths. “I like to spend all my time thinking and writing about maths problems. I find it relaxing,” he says. When he is not writing books explaining mathematical concepts for classes 6 to 12 and engineering students, Sharma is busy dispensing his duty as vice-principal and head of department of science and humanities at Delhi government’s Guru Nanak Dev Institute of Technology.
