Find the equation of the hyperbola whose
vertices are at (0. ± 7) and foci at
Given: Vertices are (0, ± 7) and foci are
To find: equation of the hyperbola
Formula used:
The standard form of the equation of the hyperbola is,
Vertices of the hyperbola are given by (0, ±b)
Foci of the hyperbola are given by (0, ±be)
Vertices are (0, ±7) and foci are
Therefore,
a2 = b2(e2 – 1)
The equation of hyperbola:
⇒ 9x2 – 7y2 = -343
⇒ 9x2 – 7y2 + 343 = 0
Hence, required equation of hyperbola is 9x2 – 7y2 + 343 = 0
