Question

Find an equation for the hyperbola
Vertices: (2, 3), (2, -3); Foci: (2, 5), (2, -5)

Answer 1

This is gonna be a vertical hyperbola since we have change in the y coordinates, meaing the y comes first in the eqaution. Also this is a shifted hyperbola (duh)

Answer 2

hold on man, i just totally blanked out

Answer 3

Heres an example for you http://screensnapr.com/v/eRu1wi.png

Answer 4

c=2, a=3
a^2+b^2=c^2

Answer 5

b^2=5

Answer 6

Then finding the center, what coordinates do we use?

Answer 7

\[\frac{(y-0)^2}{9}-\frac{(x-2)^2}{5}=1\]
