It means that x value is between 2 to 7 ( more than 2, but less than 7)
In notation, 2 < x < 7 or (2,7).

Write an equation in standard form of the hyperbola described.

marishachu [46]

Check the picture below, so the hyperbola looks more or less like so, so let's find the length of the conjugate axis, or namely let's find the "b" component.

$\textit{hyperbolas, horizontal traverse axis } \\\\ \cfrac{(x- h)^2}{ a^2}-\cfrac{(y- k)^2}{ b^2}=1 \qquad \begin{cases} center\ ( h, k)\\ vertices\ ( h\pm a, k)\\ c=\textit{distance from}\\ \qquad \textit{center to foci}\\ \qquad \sqrt{ a ^2 + b ^2} \end{cases} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill$

$\begin{cases} h=0\\ k=0\\ a=2\\ c=4 \end{cases}\implies \cfrac{(x-0)^2}{2^2}-\cfrac{(y-0)^2}{b^2} \\\\\\ c^2=a^2+b^2\implies 4^2=2^2+b^2\implies 16=4+b^2\implies \underline{12=b^2} \\\\\\ \cfrac{(x-0)^2}{2^2}-\cfrac{(y-0)^2}{12}\implies \boxed{\cfrac{x^2}{4}-\cfrac{y^2}{12}}$
