Question:
<p>If the length of the transverse and conjugate axes of a hyperbola be 8 and 6 respectively, then the difference focal distances of any point of the hyperbola will be:</p>
<p style="display:inline">2</p>
<p style="display:inline">8</p>
<p style="display:inline">6</p>
<p style="display:inline">14</p>
Step-by-Step Solution
Key Concept: The absolute difference of the focal distances of any point on a hyperbola is a constant value equal to the length of the transverse axis (2a).
<p>2a = 8, 2b = 6<br />
Difference of focal distances of any point of the hyperbola = 2a = 8</p>
Correct Answer: B
