Write the distance between the directrices of the hyperbola `x=8s e ctheta,\ y=8t a nthetadot`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

We have given `x=8sectheta,y=8tantheta`
The eccentricity of the hyperbola
`x^2/a^2−y^2/b^2=1` is given by,
`e=sqrt(1+b^2/a^2)`
and the distance between the directrices is given by `(2a)/e`.
Here, `a=8` and `b=8` since `sec^2theta−tan^2theta=1`
Therefore, the distance becomes
