In each of the, find the equations of the hyperbola satisfying the given conditions.
Vertices ( 2, 0), foci ( 3, 0)
Vertices ( 2, 0), foci ( 3, 0)
Here, the vertices are on the x-axis.
Thus,
The equation of the hyperbola is of the form
Since, the vertices are (2,0), a = 2
Since, the foci are (3, 0), c= 3
We know that, a2 + b2 = c2
Thus, 22 + b2 = 32
⇒ b2 = 9 – 4 = 5
Hence, the equation of the hyperbola is
