Eccentricity of the hyperbola whose asymptotes are given by 3x+2y-5=0 and 2x-3y-5=0 is :- A) root2 B) 3/2 C) 2 D) 5/3

hartnn (hartnn):

\(eccentricity = \sec (\alpha/2)\) where \(\alpha\) is the angle between 2 asymptotes. so whats the angle between those 2 lines?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait !

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got tan alpha=13/12

@hartnn

hartnn (hartnn):

:O

hartnn (hartnn):

those 2 are perpendicular lines we can easily get that by just looking at the co-efficients

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ! yeah yeah

hartnn (hartnn):

so \(\theta = 90\) sec 45 is your answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but where is my mistake ? |dw:1458443182354:dw|
