Give the vertices of the hyperbola (x-12)^2/16 - (y-14)^2/25 = 1
---------------
The center is at (12,14)
The semi-major axis is sqrt25=5 and that axis is vertical.
Vertices on the major axis are (12, 14+5)=(12,19) and (12,14-5)=(12,9)
-------------
The semi-minor axis is sqrt16=4 and that axis is horizontal.
Vertices on the minor axis are (12+4,14)=(16,14) and (12-4,14)=(8,14)
