If asymptotes of hyperbola bisect the angles between the transverse axis and conjugate axis of hyperbola, then what is eccentricity of hyperbola?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
`sqrt2`
Clearly, for the given situation, asymptotes must be perpendicular.
So, hyperbola must be rectangular.
Therefore, eccentricity of hyperbola is `sqrt2`
