-
Given hyperbola
Comparing with the standard form
we get
-
Endpoints of a latus rectum
For the hyperbola
we have
The latus rectum through the focus is the line .
Substituting into the hyperbola:
Since ,
So the endpoints of the latus rectum are
-
Angle subtended at the centre
The centre is the origin . Let the endpoints be
The angle .
Using the dot product:
Now,
Therefore,
Also,
Hence,
Since ,
-
Solve for
Let
Then
So,
Since ,
Multiply by :
Let . Then
Solving,
Since ,
-
Identify
Comparing with
we get
Therefore,
-
Final answer
The derived answer matches the stored correct answer.
