Find the equation of the hyperbola with vertices at (0, ±5) and foci at (0, ±8).

Given: Vertices at (0, ±5) and foci at (0, ±8)


Need to find: The equation of the hyperbola.


Let, the equation of the parabola be:


Vertices of the parabola are at (0, ±5)


That means a = 5


The foci are given at (0, ±8)



A and B are the vertices. C and D are the foci.


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


[As a = 5]



We know that,


Therefore,



[Squaring both sides]




[As a = 5]


So, the equation of the hyperbola is,
