Q. 2. [1/1 Points]DETAILSMY NOTESFind the standard form of the equation of the hyperbola with the given characteristics.Vertices: (±6,0); foci: (±9,0)
Calculate a^2: The standard form of the equation of a hyperbola with a horizontal transverse axis centered at the origin is given by:a2x2−b2y2=1where 2a is the distance between the vertices, and 2c is the distance between the foci. We are given the vertices at (±6,0), which means a=6. We can calculate a2 as follows:a2=62=36
Calculate c^2: Next, we are given the foci at (±9,0), which means c=9. We can calculate c2 as follows:c2=92=81
Find b^2: We know that for a hyperbola, the relationship between a, b, and c is given by c2=a2+b2. We can use this to find b2:b2=c2−a2=81−36=45
Write standard form: Now that we have a2 and b2, we can write the standard form of the equation of the hyperbola:36x2−45y2=1
