The graph if the equation below is a hyperbola. What is the length of the transverse axis of the hyperbola
y%5E2%2F13%5E2-x%5E2%2F10%5E2=1This is an equation of a hyperbola with vertical transverse axis and center at the origin(0,0)
Its standard form: y%5E2%2Fa%5E2-x%5E2%2Fb%5E2-1
for given equation of a hyperbola:
a^2=13^2
a=13
length of transverse axis=2a=26
