Question 45

Multiple Choice

Write an equation for the hyperbola.
-For a hyperbolic mirror the two foci are 40 cm40 \mathrm {~cm} apart. The distance of the vertex from one focus is 8 cm\mathrm { cm } and from the other focus is 32 cm32 \mathrm {~cm} . Position a coordinate system with the origin at the center of the hyperbola and with the foci on the yy -axis. Find the equation of the hyperbola.


A) y2144x2256=1\frac { y ^ { 2 } } { 144 } - \frac { x ^ { 2 } } { 256 } = 1

B) x2144y2256=1\frac { x ^ { 2 } } { 144 } - \frac { y ^ { 2 } } { 256 } = 1

C) y2144x2256=5\frac { y ^ { 2 } } { 144 } - \frac { x ^ { 2 } } { 256 } = 5

D) x2144y2256=5\frac { x ^ { 2 } } { 144 } - \frac { y ^ { 2 } } { 256 } = 5
