Hi,
Find the coordinates of the vertices and the foci and the length of the latus rectum
16x^2 — 9y^2 =144

Note: Standard Form of an Equation of an Hyperbola opening right and left is

where Pt(h,k) is a center with vertices 'a' units right and left of center.
C(0,0) with vertices V(-3,0) and V(3,0)
Domain {x| x ≤ -3 and x ≥ 3} Range:
Foci(c = ): F(-5,0) and F(5,0)
The length of the Latus Rectum is 2b^2/a = 32/3
