The given hyperbola x216−y236=k\dfrac{x^2}{16}-\dfrac{y^2}{36}=k, i.e. x216k−y236k=1\dfrac{x^2}{16k}-\dfrac{y^2}{36k}=1, has semi-transverse axis 4k4\sqrt k and semi-conjugate axis 6k6\sqrt k, so full transverse =8k=8\sqrt k and full conjugate =12k=12\sqrt k. A hyperbola with HALF these lengths has semi-transverse 2k2\sqrt k and semi-conjugate 3k3\sqrt k: x24k−y29k=1\dfrac{x^2}{4k}-\dfrac{y^2}{9k}=1, i.e. $\dfrac{x^2}{4}-\dfrac{y^2}{9} …
