Question

Eccentricity of the hyperbola 16x² – 3y² – 32x – 12y – 44 = 0 is

(A) \(\sqrt{\frac {17}{3}}\)

(B) \(\sqrt{\frac {19}{3}}\)

(C) \(\frac {\sqrt19}{3}\)

(D)\(\frac {\sqrt17}{3}\)

Answer 1

Correct option is: (B) \(\sqrt{\frac {19}{3}}\)

16x² – 3y² – 32x – 12y – 44 = 0 

⇒ 16(x – 1)² – 3(y + 2)² = 48
