Write the equation of an hyperbola, in standard form, with vertices ( 0,3) and (0,-3) and asymptotes y=3/2x and y=-3/2x
***
Given hyperbola has a vertical transverse axis.
Its standard form of equation: %28y-k%29%5E2%2Fa%5E2-%28x-h%29%5E2%2Fb%5E2=1, (h,k)=coordinates of center
center: (0, 0)
vertices:
a=3
a^2=9
Given slopes of asymptotes with vertical transverse axis=a/b=±3/2
b=2a/±3
b^2=4a^2/9
b^2=4*9/9=4
equation: y%5E2%2F9-x%5E2%2F4=1
