Write the equation for the hyperbola that satisfies the conditions: vertices (-5, 0) and (5, 0), conjugate axis of length 12 units.
**
Standard form of equation for a hyperbola with horizontal transverse axis:
(x-h)^2/a^2-(y-k)^2/b^2=1
..
For given hyperbola:
center: (0,0)
length of vertex=10=2a
a=5
a^2=25
..
length of conjugate axis=12=2b
b=6
b^2=36
..
Equation of given hyperbola:
(x-0)^2/25-(y-0)^2/36=1
x^2/25-y^2/36=1
