Find and equation for the hyperbola that satisfies the given conditions.
\n" ); document.write( "Vertices: (0,14), (0,-14) and passes through (-5,21)
\n" ); document.write( "***
\n" ); document.write( "Given hyperbola has a vertical transverse axis and center at the origin.
\n" ); document.write( "Its standard form of equation: \"y%5E2%2Fa%5E2-x%5E2%2Fb%5E2=1\"
\n" ); document.write( "a=14 (distance from center to vertices)
\n" ); document.write( "a^2=196
\n" ); document.write( "\"y%5E2%2Fa%5E2-x%5E2%2Fb%5E2=1\"
\n" ); document.write( "solve for b^2
\n" ); document.write( "plug-in coordinates of given point on the curve(-5, 21)
\n" ); document.write( "\"21%5E2%2F14%5E2-%28-5%5E2%29%2Fb%5E2=1\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"21%5E2%2F196-25%2Fb%5E2=1\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"2.25-25%2Fb%5E2=1\"
\n" ); document.write( "25/b^2=2.25-1=1.25
\n" ); document.write( "b^2=25/1.25
\n" ); document.write( "b^2=20
\n" ); document.write( "equation: \"y%5E2%2F196-x%5E2%2F20=1\"
\n" ); document.write( "
