Correct Answer - Option 4 : (± 7, 0)

Concept:

Hyperbola:

Equation

\(\rm \frac{x^{2}}{a^{2}}-\frac{y^{2}}{b^{2}}=1\)

\(\rm\frac{y^{2}}{a^{2}}-\frac{x^{2}}{b^{2}}=1\)

Equation of Transverse axis

y = 0

x = 0

Equation of Conjugate axis

x = 0

y = 0

Length of Transverse axis

2a

2a

Length of Conjugate axis

2b

2b

Vertices

(± a, 0)

(0, ± a)

Focus

(± ae, 0)

(0, ± ae)

Directrix

x = ± a/e

y = ± a/e

Centre

(0, 0)

(0, 0)

Eccentricity

\(\rm \sqrt{1+\frac{b^{2}}{a^{2}}}\)

\(\rm \sqrt{1+\frac{b^{2}}{a^{2}}}\)

Length of Latus rectum

\(\rm \frac{2b^{2}}{a}\)

\(\rm \frac{2b^{2}}{a}\)

Focal distance of the point (x, y)

ex ± a

ey ± a

 

Calculation:

Given: \(\rm\frac{x^{2}}{49}-\frac{y^{2}}{36}=1\)

It can be written as,

\(\rm⇒ \frac{x^{2}}{49}-\frac{y^{2}}{36}=\frac{x^{2}}{7^{2}}-\frac{y^{2}}{6^{2}}=1\)

On comparing the above equation with the general equation of the hyperbola, \(\rm \frac{x^{2}}{a^{2}}-\frac{y^{2}}{b^{2}}=1\)

⇒ a = 7 and b = 6

As we know that the coordinates of the vertices on the hyperbola \(\rm \frac{x^{2}}{a^{2}}-\frac{y^{2}}{b^{2}}=1\)  is (± a, 0).

⇒ (± a, 0) = (± 7, 0)

Hence, the correct option is 4.
