In each of the, find the coordinates of the foci and the vertices, the eccentricity and the length of the latus rectum of the hyperbolas.

16x2 – 9y2 = 576

The given equation is 16y2 – 9x2 = 576


We can re-write the given as


Or ……….. (1)


On comparing this equation (1) with the standard equation of hyperbola


, we get,


a = 6 and b =8


We know, a2 + b2 = c2


Thus,


c2 = 36 + 64 = 100


c = 10


Therefore,


The coordinates of the foci are (10, 0).


The coordinates of the vertices are (6, 0).


Eccentricity, e =


Length of latus rectum =
