Question

The foci of the hyperbola are ( 13 , 0) and (− 13 , 0), and the asymptotes are y = 12 x and y = − 12 x. find an equation of the conic section with the given properties. use x and y as the variables in your answer.

Answer 1

Y=k+- a/b(x-h)

y=-+12x

12=a/b

a=12b

c²=a²+b²

(13,0) and (-13,0)

13²=(12b)²+b²

169=145b²

b= 13/12

169=a²+169/145

a²= 24336/145

x²/a²-y²/b²=1

145x²/24336 + 145y²/169=1
