You can put this solution on YOUR website! Write the equation in standard form for the hyperbola with center (5, 0), co-vertex (6, 0), and focus (5, radical 37)
***
Given hyperbola has a vertical transverse axis(gleaned from given focus coordinates)
Its standard form of equation:  , (h,k)=(x,y) coordinates of center
center:(5,0)
b=6 (co-vertex)
b^2=36
c=√37 (focus)
c^2=37
c^2=a^2+b^2
a^2=c^2-b^2=37-36=1
