Equation of a Hyperbola; Center at (0,0); Foci at (+\-c,0); Vertices at (+\-a,0); Transverse axis along the x-axis. Two oblique asymptotes at y=+\-(b/a)x:
, where
Determine the foci and equations of the asymptotes of: .



a=5 and b=3
--->




Therefore the foci (+\-c,0) are: (,0) and (,0)
The equations of the asymptotey=+\-(b/a)x are: and
Happy Calculating!!!
