You can put this solution on YOUR website! Write an equation for the hyperbola that satisfies the given set of conditions. vertices (16,0) and (-16,0), conjugate axis of length 10 units.
 ***
 Given hyperbola has a horizontal transverse axis
 Its standard form of equation:
  , (h,k)=(x,y) coordinates of center center:(0,0)
 a=16 (distance from center to vertices)
 a^2=256
 length of conjugate axis=10=2b
 b=5
 b^2=25
 Equation of given hyperbola:
