<span>Shortest side = x, Longest Side = 4x-1, third side = 18 Equation is x + (4x-1) + 18 = 42 so 5x-1 = 42-18=24 and 5x=25 so x = 5, longest side = 4(5)-1=19, third side=18 Add all 3 (5+19+18) to get 42</span>

the eccentricity of a hyperbola is defined as e=c/a. find an equation with vertices (1,-3) and (-3,-3) and e=5/2
Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

\frac{(x + 1 )^{2} }{4} - \frac{(y + 3 )^{2} }{21} = 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

If (α, β) are the coordinates of the center of the hyperbola, then its equation of the hyperbola is \frac{(x - \alpha )^{2} }{a^{2} } - \frac{(y - \beta )^{2} }{b^{2} } = 1.

Now, the vertices of the hyperbola are given by (α ± a, β) ≡ (1,-3) and (-3,-3)

Hence, β = - 3 and α + a = 1 and α - a = -3

Now, solving those two equations of α and a we get,  

2α = - 2, ⇒ α = -1 and

a = 1 - α = 2.

Now, eccentricity of the hyperbola is given by b^{2} = a^{2}(e^{2}  - 1) = 4[(\frac{5}{2} )^{2} -1] = 21 {Since e = \frac{5}{2} given}

Therefore, the equation of the given hyperbola will be  

\frac{(x + 1 )^{2} }{4} - \frac{(y + 3 )^{2} }{21} = 1. (Answer)
