Find an equation for the hyperbola that has its center at the origin and satisfies the given conditions.

foci F(0, ±4),    vertices V(0, ±1)

Solution

focii (0,+-4) , vertices (0,+-1)

vertices (0+-a)

Therefore a=1

focii (0,+-c)

Therefore c=4

b^2=c^2 -a^2 =15

required equation is

y^2/ 1 - x^2 /15=1
