The correct Answer is:
To find the angle between the asymptotes of the hyperbola given by the equation \( x^2 - 3y^2 = 3 \), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Write the equation in standard form We start with the given hyperbola equation: \[ x^2 - 3y^2 = 3 \] To convert it into standard form, we divide both sides by 3: \[ \frac{x^2}{3} - \frac{y^2}{1} = 1 \] ### Step 2: Identify the asymptotes The asymptotes of a hyperbola in the form \(\frac{x^2}{a^2} - \frac{y^2}{b^2} = 1\) are given by the equations: \[ y = \pm \frac{b}{a} x \] Here, \(a^2 = 3\) and \(b^2 = 1\), so: \[ a = \sqrt{3}, \quad b = 1 \] Thus, the slopes of the asymptotes are: \[ m_1 = \frac{b}{a} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}, \quad m_2 = -\frac{b}{a} = -\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \] ### Step 3: Calculate the angles corresponding to the slopes The angles \(\theta_1\) and \(\theta_2\) corresponding to the slopes can be found using the tangent function: \[ \tan \theta_1 = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \implies \theta_1 = \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\right) = \frac{\pi}{6} \] \[ \tan \theta_2 = -\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \implies \theta_2 = \tan^{-1}\left(-\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\right) = -\frac{\pi}{6} \] ### Step 4: Find the angle between the asymptotes The angle \(\theta\) between the two asymptotes is given by the difference between these angles: \[ \theta = \theta_1 - \theta_2 = \frac{\pi}{6} - \left(-\frac{\pi}{6}\right) \] \[ \theta = \frac{\pi}{6} + \frac{\pi}{6} = \frac{2\pi}{6} = \frac{\pi}{3} \] ### Conclusion The angle between the asymptotes of the hyperbola \(x^2 - 3y^2 = 3\) is: \[ \frac{\pi}{3} \] ---
