Find an equation for the hyperbola whose graph has vertices (+/-5,0) and foci (+/-7,0)
***
Given hyperbola has a horizontal transverse axis.
Its standard form of equation: , (h,k)=(x,y) coordinates of the center.
center: (0,0)
a=5 (distance from center to vertices)
a^2=25
c=7 (distance from center to foci)
c^2=49
c^2=a^2+b^2
b^2=c^2-a^2=49-25=24
Equation of given hyperbola:
