A conic satisfies the differential equation x dy + y dx = 0 and passes through the point (2, 8). Find the length of its latus rectum.

  1. 4*sqrt(2)
  2. 8
  3. 8*sqrt(2)
  4. 16

Correct answer: 8*sqrt(2)

Solution

The curve is xy = 16 = c² with c = 4; a rectangular hyperbola has latus rectum = transverse axis = 2*sqrt(2)*c = 8*sqrt(2).
