Q. 22. [11/11 Points]\newlineDETAILS\newlineMY NOTES\newlineFind the standard form of the equation of the hyperbola with the given characteristics.\newlineVertices: (±6,0) ( \pm 6,0) ; foci: (±9,0) ( \pm 9,0)
  1. Calculate a^22: The standard form of the equation of a hyperbola with a horizontal transverse axis centered at the origin is given by:\newlinex2a2y2b2=1\frac{x^2}{a^2} - \frac{y^2}{b^2} = 1\newlinewhere 2a2a is the distance between the vertices, and 2c2c is the distance between the foci. We are given the vertices at (±66,00), which means a=6a = 6. We can calculate a2a^2 as follows:\newlinea2=62=36a^2 = 6^2 = 36
  2. Calculate c^22: Next, we are given the foci at (±99,00), which means c=9c = 9. We can calculate c2c^2 as follows:\newlinec2=92=81c^2 = 9^2 = 81
  3. Find b^22: We know that for a hyperbola, the relationship between aa, bb, and cc is given by c2=a2+b2c^2 = a^2 + b^2. We can use this to find b2b^2:\newlineb2=c2a2=8136=45b^2 = c^2 - a^2 = 81 - 36 = 45
  4. Write standard form: Now that we have a2a^2 and b2b^2, we can write the standard form of the equation of the hyperbola:\newlinex236y245=1\frac{x^2}{36} - \frac{y^2}{45} = 1
