Equations of ellipses and hyperbolas Find an equation of the following ellipses and hyperbolas, assuming the center is at the origin.

y.
4
(-4, 0) (4, 0)
+
2
Focus
Focus
(-5, 0).
(5, 0)
Transcribed Image Text:y. 4 (-4, 0) (4, 0) + 2 Focus Focus (-5, 0). (5, 0)
Expert Solution
Step 1

The center of the hyperbola given in the image is origin (0,0).

a is the distance between the center and vertex and vertex is (4,0) and (-4,0). So, the value of a will be,
a=4

c is the distance between center and focus (5,0). So, the value of c will be,
c=5

Now, the value of b is calculated as,
b2=c2-a2=52-42=9b=9=3
