Example 14 Find the coordinates of the foci and the vertices, the eccentricity, the length of the latus rectum of the hyperbolas: (i) x2/9 โ y2/16 = 1, The given equation is ๐ฅ2/9 โ ๐ฆ2/16 = 1 The above equation is of the form ๐ฅ2/๐2 โ ๐ฆ2/๐2 = 1 Comparing (1) & (2) a2 = 9 a = 3 & b2 = 16 b = 4 Also, c2 = a2 + b2 c2 = 9 + 16 c2 = 25 c = 5 So, Co-ordinate of foci = (ยฑc, 0) = (ยฑ5, 0) Thus, Co-ordinate of foci are (5, 0) & (โ5, 0) Vertices = (ยฑa, 0) = (ยฑ3, 0) Thus, Vertices are (3, 0) & (โ3, 0) Eccentricity e = ๐/๐ = ๐/๐ Latus rectum = 2๐2/๐ = (2 ร 16)/3 = ๐๐/๐
