  1. Question 1

    Q1. The equation of the hyperbola with transverse axis 4 and conjugate axis 6 is

    • A) x² / 4 - y² / 9 = 1
    • B) x² / 9 - y² / 4 = 1
    • C) y² / 4 - x² / 9 = 1
    • D) y² / 9 - x² / 4 = 1

    Answer: x² / 4 - y² / 9 = 1

    Explanation: The general equation of a hyperbola is x² / a² - y² / b² = 1, where 2a = 4 and 2b = 6, so a = 2 and b = 3
