One focus of a hyperbola is located at (-7, 1). One vertex of the hyperbola is located at
(-6, 1). The center is (-2, 1). What is the equation of the hyperbola?

Respuesta :

Answer:

a on edge

Step-by-step explanation:

just did the work

The equation of the hyperbola is (( x +2 )² / 16 )  - (( y -1)²/9) = 1.

What is a Hyperbola?

A hyperbola is a plane curve that is generated when a point moves such that its difference of the distance from two fixed points is constant.

The standard equation of Hyperbola is

((x-h)²/a²) - ((y-k)²/b²) = 1

Here (h,k) is the center of the hyperbola.

The vertex is (h±a, k)

The focus is (h±c, k)

c² = a² + b²

One focus of a hyperbola is located at (-7, 1).

One vertex of the hyperbola is located at (-6, 1)

The center is (-2, 1).

Comparing with the standard equations,

h = -2 , k = 1

h±a = -7

-2 + a = -6

a = -4

h±c = -7

-2 + c = -7

c = -5

By the formula

c² = a² + b²

25 = 16 +b²

b = 3

The equation of the hyperbola is

(( x +2 )² / 16 ) - (( y -1)²/9) = 1
