Find the equation of the hyperbola with vertices at (±6, 0) and foci at (±8, 0).

Given: Vertices at (±6, 0) and foci at (±8, 0)


Need to find: The equation of the hyperbola.


Let, the equation of the parabola be:


Vertices of the parabola is at (±6, 0)


That means a = 6


The foci are given at (±8, 0)


A and B are the foci.


That means, ae = 8, where e is the eccentricity.


[As a = 6]



We know that,


Therefore,



[Squaring both sides]




[As a = 6]


So, the equation of the hyperbola is,
