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
