Let F 1 and F 2 be the left and right focal points of the hyperbola x 2-y 2 / 9 = 1 respectively. If P is on the hyperbola and pf1pf 2 = 0, then | Pf1 + PF2 | =?

Let F 1 and F 2 be the left and right focal points of the hyperbola x 2-y 2 / 9 = 1 respectively. If P is on the hyperbola and pf1pf 2 = 0, then | Pf1 + PF2 | =?

C ^ 2 = a ^ 2 + B ^ 2 = 1 + 9 = 10C = root 10, that is, F1F2 = 2C = 2 root 10. Pf1 * PF2 = 0, that means Pf1 and PF2 are vertical, that is, Pf1 ^ 2 + PF2 ^ 2 = F1F2 ^ 2 = 40 and pf1-pf2 = 2A = 2 (pf1-pf2) ^ 2 = Pf1 ^ 2-2pf1 * PF2 + PF2 ^ 2 = 42pf1 * PF2 = 36, so: (Pf1 + PF2) ^ 2 = Pf1 ^ 2 + 2pf1 * PF2 + PF2 ^ 2 = 40
