foci: (3,2), (3,-2) C(3,0) %282-2%29%2F2+=+0
Opens Up and down along x = 3
Standard Form of an Equation of an Hyperbola opening up and down is:
%28y-k%29%5E2%2Fb%5E2+-+%28x-h%29%5E2%2Fa%5E2+=+1 with C(h,k) and vertices 'b' units up and down from center,
Foci sqrt%28a%5E2%2Bb%5E2%29units units up and down from center, along x = h
& Asymptotes Lines passing thru C(h,k), with slopes m = ± b/a
%28y%29%5E2%2Fb%5E2+-+%28x-3%29%5E2%2Fa%5E2+=+1
asymptote at y=2(x-3), m = ± b/a = 2, b = 2a
foci:sqrt%28a%5E2%2Bb%5E2%29=+sqrt%28a%5E2+%2B+4a%5E2%29=+5a%5E2+ = 2 , a^2 = 5/2
and b^2 = 4a^2 = 10
%28y%29%5E2%2F10+-+%28x-3%29%5E2%2F2.5+=+1
