Write the equation of a hyperbola with vertices at (-7, 0) and (7, 0) and co-vertices (0, -4) and (0, 4).
Given hyperbola has a horizontal transverse axis with center at the origin.
Its standard form of equation: x%5E2%2Fa%5E2-y%5E2%2Fb%5E2=1
a=7
a^2=49
b=4
b^2=16
equation: x%5E2%2F49-y%5E2%2F16=1
..
Follow the same steps to solve this second problem:
Write the equation of a hyperbola with vertices (0, -2) and (0, 2) and co-vertices (-4, 0) and (4, 0).
