What is the standard form equation of the hyperbola that has vertices(1,2)(1,2)and(1,8)(1,8)and foci(1,10)(1,10)and(1,16)?
Solution
vertices (1,-2) ,(1,8)
focii(1,-10), (1,16)
This hyperbola is of the form
(y-k)2/a2 - (x-h)2/b2=1
Centre is (h,k)
Vertices (h,k+-a)
h=1, k+a= 8 and k-a=-2
k=3 a= 5
focii (h,k+-c)
k+c=16 and k-c=-10
c=13
c^2=a^2 + b^2
169-25=b^2
b=12
The required equation is
(y-3)2/25 - (x-1)2/144=1
