The correct Answer is:
To find the equations of the hyperbolas given the foci and vertices, we will follow these steps for each case. ### Part (i) 1. **Identify the foci and vertices:** - Foci: \( (\pm 3, 0) \) - Vertices: \( (\pm 2, 0) \) 2. **Determine the orientation of the hyperbola:** - Since the vertices and foci are on the x-axis, the hyperbola opens horizontally. The standard form of the equation for a horizontally opening hyperbola is: \[ \frac{x^2}{a^2} - \frac{y^2}{b^2} = 1 \] 3. **Find \( a \):** - The distance from the center to the vertices is \( a \). From the vertices \( (\pm 2, 0) \), we have: \[ a = 2 \] - Therefore, \( a^2 = 2^2 = 4 \). 4. **Find \( c \):** - The distance from the center to the foci is \( c \). From the foci \( (\pm 3, 0) \), we have: \[ c = 3 \] - Therefore, \( c^2 = 3^2 = 9 \). 5. **Use the relationship between \( a \), \( b \), and \( c \):** - The relationship is given by: \[ c^2 = a^2 + b^2 \] - Substituting the known values: \[ 9 = 4 + b^2 \] - Solving for \( b^2 \): \[ b^2 = 9 - 4 = 5 \] 6. **Write the equation of the hyperbola:** - Substituting \( a^2 \) and \( b^2 \) into the standard form: \[ \frac{x^2}{4} - \frac{y^2}{5} = 1 \] ### Part (ii) 1. **Identify the foci and vertices:** - Foci: \( (0, \pm 8) \) - Vertices: \( (0, \pm 5) \) 2. **Determine the orientation of the hyperbola:** - Since the vertices and foci are on the y-axis, the hyperbola opens vertically. The standard form of the equation for a vertically opening hyperbola is: \[ \frac{y^2}{a^2} - \frac{x^2}{b^2} = 1 \] 3. **Find \( a \):** - The distance from the center to the vertices is \( a \). From the vertices \( (0, \pm 5) \), we have: \[ a = 5 \] - Therefore, \( a^2 = 5^2 = 25 \). 4. **Find \( c \):** - The distance from the center to the foci is \( c \). From the foci \( (0, \pm 8) \), we have: \[ c = 8 \] - Therefore, \( c^2 = 8^2 = 64 \). 5. **Use the relationship between \( a \), \( b \), and \( c \):** - The relationship is given by: \[ c^2 = a^2 + b^2 \] - Substituting the known values: \[ 64 = 25 + b^2 \] - Solving for \( b^2 \): \[ b^2 = 64 - 25 = 39 \] 6. **Write the equation of the hyperbola:** - Substituting \( a^2 \) and \( b^2 \) into the standard form: \[ \frac{y^2}{25} - \frac{x^2}{39} = 1 \] ### Final Answers: - For part (i): \[ \frac{x^2}{4} - \frac{y^2}{5} = 1 \] - For part (ii): \[ \frac{y^2}{25} - \frac{x^2}{39} = 1 \]
