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
