Find the standard form of the equation of the hyperbola sati
Find the standard form of the equation of the hyperbola satisfying the given conditions:
Foci (-5,0),(5,0) ; vertices (-3,0), (3,0)
Solution
This hyperbola is of the form
(x-h)2/a2 - (y-k)2/b2=1
In the given question centre(h,k) = (0,0)
Where vertices= (h+-a,k)
And according to the question
h+a=3
a=3
focii=(h+-c,k)
And according to question
h+c= 5
c=5
c2=a2+b2
25= 9 + b2
b=4
required equation is
x2/9 - y2/16=1
