Question

9.Vertices (0, ± 3), foci (0, ± 5)

Open in App
Solution

The given coordinates of vertices are ( 0,±3 ) and coordinates of focus are ( 0,±5 ) .

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=5

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

a=3

a 2 + b 2 = c 2 3 2 + b 2 = 5 2 b 2 =259 b 2 =16 b=4

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

y 2 9 x 2 16 =1

Thus, the equation of hyperbola with vertices (0,±3) and foci ( 0,±5 ) is y 2 9 x 2 16 =1 .
