Find the equation of the hyperbola whose foci are and the transverse axis is of the length 10.

Given: Foci are , the transverse axis is of the length 10


Need to find: The equation of the hyperbola.


Let, the equation of the hyperbola be:


The transverse axis is of the length 10, i.e., 2a = 10


Therefore, a = 5


The foci are given at


A and B are the foci.


That means, , 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,
