Question 588602
write equation in standard form for each hyperbola
vertices (11,0) &' (-11,0) and conjugate axis length 8
**
Standard form of equation for a hyperbola with horizontal transverse axis:
(x-h)^2/a^2-(y-k)^2/b^2=1, (h,k) being the (x,y) coordinates of the center.
For given hyperbola:
center: (0,0)
length of horizontal transverse axis=22=2a (-11 to 11)
a=11
a^2=121
Given length of conjugate axis =8=2b
b=4
b^2=16
Equation of hyperbola:
x^2/121-y^2/16=1
