Question

8. Vertices (0, +5), foci (0, + 8)

Open in App
Solution

The given coordinates of vertices are ( 0,±5 ) and coordinates of foci are ( 0,±8 ) .

Since the vertices are on the y axis, the equation of the hyperbola is represented as,

y 2 a 2 x 2 b 2 =1 , where y is the transverse axis.(1)

Since y axis is the transverse axis, coordinates of Foci = (0,±c)

c=8

Since x=y axis is the transverse axis, coordinates of vertices = (0,±a)

a=5

a 2 + b 2 = c 2 5 2 + b 2 = 8 2 b 2 =6425 b 2 =39 b = 39

Substitute the values of a and b in equation (1)

y 2 25 x 2 39 =1

Thus, the equation of hyperbola with vertices (0,±5) and foci ( 0,±8 ) is y 2 25 x 2 39 =1 .
