Find the equation of the hyperbola satisfying the given conditions: Vertices (0, ± 5), Foci (0, ± 8)
Solution:
Vertices (0, ± 5), Foci (0, ± 8)
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, ± 5), a = 5
Since the foci are (0, ± 8), c = 8
We know that, c2 = a2 + b2
Hence,
⇒ 52 + b2 = 82
⇒ b2 = 64 - 25
⇒ b2 = 39
Thus, the equation of the hyperbola is y2/25 - x2/39 = 1
