Find the equation of the hyperbola with directrix 2x + y = 1, focus (1, 1), and eccentricity sqrt(3). If the length of its latus rectum can be written as sqrt(p/q) (in lowest terms), find the value of p + q.

  1. 16
  2. 14
  3. 9
  4. 20

Correct answer: 16

Solution

Applying the focus-directrix relation gives the conic; its latus rectum length comes out as sqrt(p/q) with p + q = 16.
