  • $2x^2 + 5 xy + 2y^2 + 4x + 5y + 2 = 0$
  • $2x^2 + 5 xy + 2y^2 + 4x + 5y - 2 = 0$
  • $2x^2 + 5 xy + 2y^2 = 0$
  • None of these

The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

The correct option is(A): \(2x^{2} + 5 xy + 2y^{2} + 4x + 5y + 2 = 0\).

Let the equation of asymptotes be 
\(2x^{2} + 5xy + 2y^{2} + 4x + 5y + \lambda = 0.......\left(1\right)\)
This equation represents a pair of straight lines, 
\(\therefore\quad abc + 2fgh - af^{2} - bg^{2} - ch^{2} = 0\)
\(\therefore 4\lambda +25-\frac{25}{2} - 8-\lambda\times \frac{25}{4} = 0\)
\(\Rightarrow -\frac{9\lambda}{4} +\frac{9}{2} = 0 \Rightarrow \lambda = 2\)
Putting the value of $\lambda$ in e $\left(1\right)$, we get 
\(2x^{2} + 5 xy + 2y^{2} + 4x + 5y + 2 = 0\)
this is the equation of the asymptotes.

Hyperbola

Hyperbola is the locus of all the points in a plane such that the difference in their distances from two fixed points in the plane is constant.

Hyperbola is made up of two similar curves that resemble a parabola. Hyperbola has two fixed points which can be shown in the picture, are known as foci or focus. When we join the foci or focus using a line segment then its midpoint gives us centre. Hence, this line segment is known as the transverse axis.
