Consider a hyperbola $H$ having its centre at the origin and foci on the $x$-axis. Let $C_1$ be a circle touching the hyperbola $H$ and having its centre at the origin. Let $C_2$ be a circle touching the hyperbola $H$ at its vertex and having its centre at one of its foci. If the areas (in sq. units) of $C_1$ and $C_2$ are $36 \pi$ and $4 \pi$,respectively,then the length (in units) of the latus rectum of $H$ is

Let one focus of the hyperbola $H : \frac{x^2}{a^2} - \frac{y^2}{b^2} = 1$ be at $(\sqrt{10}, 0)$ and the corresponding directrix be $x = \frac{9}{\sqrt{10}}$. If $e$ and $l$ respectively are the eccentricity and the length of the latus rectum of $H$,then $9(e^2 + l)$ is equal to:

If the area of the quadrilateral formed by the tangents drawn at the ends of the latus rectum of the hyperbola $\frac{x^2}{a^2} - \frac{y^2}{b^2} = 1$ is equal to the square of the distance between the center and one focus of the hyperbola,then $e^3$ is ($e$ is the eccentricity of the hyperbola).

The equations of the asymptotes of a hyperbola are $x+y+3=0$ and $2x-y+1=0$. If $(1,-2)$ is a point on this hyperbola,find the equation of its conjugate hyperbola.
