Correct Answer
D. (4)Explanation
The equation of a parabola can be written in the form y = a(x-h)^2 + k, where (h,k) represents the vertex of the parabola. In this case, the equation of the axis of the parabola is given by y = k. Since the correct answer is (4) y = 1, it means that the axis of the parabola is a horizontal line passing through y = 1.Rate this question:

The eccentricity of the hyperbola whose latus rectum is equal to half of its conjugate axis is (1) (2) (3) (4)
- A.
(1)
- B.
(2)
- C.
(3)
- D.
(4)
Correct Answer
D. (4)Explanation
The eccentricity of a hyperbola is defined as the ratio of the distance between the center and a focus to the distance between the center and a vertex. In this case, since the latus rectum is equal to half of the conjugate axis, it means that the distance between the center and a vertex is twice the distance between the center and a focus. This implies that the eccentricity is greater than 1, which corresponds to answer choice (4).Rate this question:
-
- 25.
The difference between the focal distance of any point on the hyperbola is 24 and the eccentricity is 2. Then the equation of the hyperbola is (1) (2) (3) (4)
- A.
(1)
- B.
(2)
- C.
(3)
- D.
(4)
Correct Answer
A. (1)Explanation
The equation of a hyperbola can be written as (x-h)^2/a^2 - (y-k)^2/b^2 = 1, where (h,k) is the center of the hyperbola, a is the distance from the center to the vertex along the x-axis, and b is the distance from the center to the vertex along the y-axis. The focal distance of a hyperbola is given by 2ae, where e is the eccentricity. In this case, the focal distance is 24 and the eccentricity is 2. Therefore, 2ae = 24, and since e = 2, we can solve for a to find that a = 6. Plugging this value into the equation, we get (x-h)^2/36 - (y-k)^2/b^2 = 1, which matches the form of option (1).Rate this question:

The area of the triangle formed by the tangent at any point on the rectangular hyperbola and its asymptotes is (1) 36 (2) 18 (3) 72 (4) 144
- A.
(1)
- B.
(2)
- C.
(3)

(4)
Correct Answer
D. (4)Explanation
The area of the triangle formed by the tangent at any point on the rectangular hyperbola and its asymptotes is equal to the product of the lengths of the tangent and the intercepts made by the tangent on the asymptotes. In this case, the length of the tangent is 6 (since the area is given as 144) and the intercepts made by the tangent on the asymptotes are both 12 (since 144/6 = 12). Therefore, the area of the triangle is 6 * 12 * 12 = 864, which is not one of the given options. Therefore, the question is incomplete or not readable.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
D. (4)Explanation
The length of the latus rectum of a rectangular hyperbola is given by the formula 2a, where a is the distance from the center to either focus. In a rectangular hyperbola, the distance from the center to the focus is equal to the distance from the center to the vertex, which is a. Therefore, the length of the latus rectum is 2a. Hence, the correct answer is (4).Rate this question:

- A.
(1)
- B.
(2)
- C.
(3)
- D.
(4)
Correct Answer
C. (3)Explanation
The normal to a curve at a point is perpendicular to the tangent at that point. Therefore, if the normal to the rectangular hyperbola at a certain point meets the curve again, it means that it intersects the curve at a different point. This is only possible if the curve is not a straight line. Since a rectangular hyperbola is not a straight line, the normal will intersect the curve again at a different point. Therefore, the correct answer is (3).Rate this question:
