Find the equation of the hyperbola satisfying the given conditions: Vertices (0, ± 3), Foci (0, ± 5)
Solution:
Vertices (0, ± 3), Foci (0, ± 5)
Here, the vertices are on the y-axis.
Therefore,
the equation of the hyperbola is of the form y2/a2 - x2/b2 = 1
Since the vertices are (0, ± 3), a = 3
Since the foci are (0, ± 5), c = 5
We know that, c2 = a2 + b2
Hence,
⇒ 32 + b2 = 52
⇒ b2 = 25 - 9
⇒ b2 = 16
Thus, the equation of the hyperbola is y2/9 - x2/16 = 1
