The correct Answer is:
To find the equation of the auxiliary circle of the hyperbola given by \[ \frac{x^2}{6} - \frac{y^2}{4} = 1, \] we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the values of \(a\) and \(b\) The standard form of a hyperbola is \[ \frac{x^2}{a^2} - \frac{y^2}{b^2} = 1. \] From the given hyperbola, we can compare and identify: - \(a^2 = 6\) which gives us \(a = \sqrt{6}\), - \(b^2 = 4\) which gives us \(b = 2\). ### Step 2: Determine the center of the hyperbola The center of the hyperbola is at the origin \((0, 0)\). ### Step 3: Find the radius of the auxiliary circle The radius of the auxiliary circle is equal to \(a\). Since we found \(a = \sqrt{6}\), the radius of the auxiliary circle is \(\sqrt{6}\). ### Step 4: Write the equation of the auxiliary circle The equation of a circle with center at the origin \((0, 0)\) and radius \(r\) is given by: \[ x^2 + y^2 = r^2. \] Substituting \(r = \sqrt{6}\): \[ x^2 + y^2 = (\sqrt{6})^2 = 6. \] ### Final Answer Thus, the equation of the auxiliary circle is \[ x^2 + y^2 = 6. \] ---
