5- he eccentricity of a rectangular hyperbola is |
|
Answer» Rectangular hyperbola is a hyperbola for which the asymptotes are perpendicular, also called an equilateral hyperbola or right hyperbola.This occurs when the si-major and semi-minor axes are equal. So, a=b Since the eccentricity of the hyperbola is given by: e=( (a^2 + b^2)^(1/2) ) / a => e=(( 2*a^2 ) ^ (1/2) ) / a =>e = √2a / a Hence, e= √2. |
