Respuesta :

Given

The foci are given (6, -8) and (6, -14).

The vertices are given (6, -10) and (6,-12).

Explanation

To determine the equation of hyperbola ,

Use the general equation of hyperbola .

[tex]\frac{(y-k)^2}{b^2}-\frac{(x-h)^{2}}{a^{2}}=1[/tex]

The distance between foci is denoted as 2c.

[tex]\sqrt{(6-6)^2+(-14+8)^2}=\sqrt{36}=6[/tex][tex]\begin{gathered} 2c=6 \\ c=3 \end{gathered}[/tex]

The distance between vertices is denoted as 2a.

[tex]\sqrt{(6-6)^2+(-12+10)^2}=\sqrt{4}=2[/tex][tex]\begin{gathered} 2a=2 \\ a=1 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Now find the value of b,

[tex]\begin{gathered} c^2=a^2+b^2 \\ 3^2=1^2+b^2 \\ b^2=9-1 \\ b^2=8 \end{gathered}[/tex]
