Question

What is the equation of the hyperbola with vertices at (0,-4) and (0,4) and foci at (0,-6) and (0,6)?

a. y^2/16 - x^2/20 =1

b. x^2/16 - y^2/20 =1

c. x^2/16 - y^2/36 =1

d. x^2 - y^2/52 =1

Answer 1

a^2=16, c^2=36
a^2+b^2=c^2
If the vertices are (0,4) and (0,-4), what is the center?

Answer 2

2? I have no idea

Answer 3

do you know what a hyperbola is?

Answer 4

yes sort of

Answer 5

Do you know what the vertex of a hyperbola IS?

Answer 6

no
