Equation $\frac{1}{r}=\frac{1}{8}+\frac{3}{8} cos\, \theta represents$
Updated On: Feb 15, 2025
- A rectangular hyperbola
- A hyperbola
- An ellipse
- A parabola
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
Given, equation is
$\frac{1}{r}=\frac{1}{8}+\frac{3}{8} cos \theta \, or\, \frac{8}{r}=1+3 cos \theta$
which is the form of $\frac{l}{r}=1+ e \, cos\, \theta$
$\because\quad e=3 >\, 0, $
$\therefore\quad Given \, equation \,is \,a \,hyperbola.$
