Find the eccentricity of rectangular hyperbola.
Answer
View full question & answer→We know that
$b^2=a^2\left(e^2-1\right)$
Here $b=a$
So, $a^2=a^2\left(e^2-1\right)$
$\Rightarrow \quad e^2=2 \Rightarrow e=\sqrt{2}$
So eccentricity of rectangular hyperbola is 2 .
$b^2=a^2\left(e^2-1\right)$
Here $b=a$
So, $a^2=a^2\left(e^2-1\right)$
$\Rightarrow \quad e^2=2 \Rightarrow e=\sqrt{2}$
So eccentricity of rectangular hyperbola is 2 .
