Find the coordinates of the foci and the vertices, the eccentricity, and the length of the latus rectum of the hyperbola 5y2 – 9x2 = 36

Open in App
Solution

The given equation is 5y2 – 9x2 = 36.

On comparing equation (1) with the standard equation of hyperbola i.e.,, we obtain a = and b = 2.

We know that a2 + b2 = c2.

Therefore, the coordinates of the foci are.

The coordinates of the vertices are.

Length of latus rectum
