The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the coordinates of the foci, vertices, eccentricity, and the length of the latus rectum of the hyperbola given by the equation: \[ \frac{y^2}{9} - \frac{x^2}{27} = 1 \] ### Step 1: Identify the standard form of the hyperbola The given equation is already in the standard form of a hyperbola, which is: \[ \frac{y^2}{a^2} - \frac{x^2}{b^2} = 1 \] ### Step 2: Identify \(a^2\) and \(b^2\) From the equation, we can identify: - \(a^2 = 9\) → \(a = \sqrt{9} = 3\) - \(b^2 = 27\) → \(b = \sqrt{27} = 3\sqrt{3}\) ### Step 3: Calculate \(c\) (the distance from the center to the foci) The relationship between \(a\), \(b\), and \(c\) for hyperbolas is given by: \[ c^2 = a^2 + b^2 \] Substituting the values of \(a^2\) and \(b^2\): \[ c^2 = 9 + 27 = 36 \] \[ c = \sqrt{36} = 6 \] ### Step 4: Find the coordinates of the foci For hyperbolas of the form \(\frac{y^2}{a^2} - \frac{x^2}{b^2} = 1\), the foci are located at \((0, \pm c)\). Thus, the coordinates of the foci are: \[ (0, 6) \text{ and } (0, -6) \] ### Step 5: Find the eccentricity \(e\) The eccentricity \(e\) of a hyperbola is given by: \[ e = \frac{c}{a} \] Substituting the values of \(c\) and \(a\): \[ e = \frac{6}{3} = 2 \] ### Step 6: Calculate the length of the latus rectum The length of the latus rectum \(L\) for hyperbolas is given by: \[ L = \frac{2b^2}{a} \] Substituting the values of \(b^2\) and \(a\): \[ L = \frac{2 \times 27}{3} = \frac{54}{3} = 18 \] ### Summary of Results - Coordinates of the foci: \((0, 6)\) and \((0, -6)\) - Eccentricity: \(2\) - Length of the latus rectum: \(18\)
