The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the difference of the focal distances of any point on the hyperbola given the lengths of the transverse and conjugate axes. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the lengths of the axes**: - The length of the transverse axis (2A) is given as 8. - The length of the conjugate axis (2B) is given as 6. 2. **Calculate A and B**: - Since the length of the transverse axis is 2A, we have: \[ 2A = 8 \implies A = \frac{8}{2} = 4 \] - Since the length of the conjugate axis is 2B, we have: \[ 2B = 6 \implies B = \frac{6}{2} = 3 \] 3. **Use the focal property of the hyperbola**: - The focal property states that for any point P on the hyperbola, the difference of the distances to the two foci (S and S') is equal to the length of the transverse axis (2A). - Therefore, we can write: \[ |PS - PS'| = 2A \] 4. **Substitute the value of A**: - We already calculated A as 4, so: \[ |PS - PS'| = 2 \times 4 = 8 \] 5. **Conclusion**: - The difference of the focal distances of any point on the hyperbola is 8. ### Final Answer: The difference of focal distance of any point of the hyperbola is **8**.
