Hi,
Standard Form of an Equation of an Hyperbola opening right and left is:
%28x-h%29%5E2%2Fa%5E2+-+%28y-k%29%5E2%2Fb%5E2+=+1
where Pt(h,k) is a center with vertices 'a' units right and left of center.
vertices at (-3,0) (3,0) and foci at (-11,0) (11,0)
+x%5E2%2F9+-+y%5E2%2Fb%5E2+=+1+ C(0,0) with vertices at (-3,0) (3,0)
foci at (-11,0) (11,0), that is: sqrt(9+b^2) = 11 b^2 = 112
+x%5E2%2F9+-+y%5E2%2F112+=+1+
