QuestionFind the vertices and foci of the hyperbola y249x236=1\frac{y^{2}}{49}-\frac{x^{2}}{36}=1. Enter as (0,±a)(0, \pm a) and (0,±c)(0, \pm c).

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The given equation is of a hyperbola. The hyperbola is in the standard form yaxb=1\frac{y^{}}{a^{}}-\frac{x^{}}{b^{}}=1
3. The center of the hyperbola is at the origin (0,0)

STEP 2

The general form of the equation of a hyperbola centered at the origin with its transverse axis along the y-axis is given by y2a2x2b2=1\frac{y^{2}}{a^{2}}-\frac{x^{2}}{b^{2}}=1. The vertices are given by (0,±a)(0, \pm a) and the foci by (0,±c)(0, \pm c), where c=a2+b2c=\sqrt{a^{2}+b^{2}}.

STEP 3

From the equation y249x236=1\frac{y^{2}}{49}-\frac{x^{2}}{36}=1, we can see that a2=49a^{2}=49 and b2=36b^{2}=36.

STEP 4

To find the values of aa and bb, we take the square root of a2a^{2} and b2b^{2}.
a=49a=\sqrt{49}b=36b=\sqrt{36}

STEP 5

Calculate the values of aa and bb.
a=49=7a=\sqrt{49}=7b=36=b=\sqrt{36}=

STEP 6

Now, we can find the vertices of the hyperbola. The vertices are given by (0,±a)(0, \pm a).
Vertices=(0,±)Vertices = (0, \pm)

STEP 7

Next, we need to find the foci of the hyperbola. The foci are given by (0,±c)(0, \pm c), where c=a2+b2c=\sqrt{a^{2}+b^{2}}.
c=a2+b2c=\sqrt{a^{2}+b^{2}}

STEP 8

Plug in the values for aa and bb to calculate cc.
c=72+62c=\sqrt{7^{2}+6^{2}}

STEP 9

Calculate the value of cc.
c=49+36=85c=\sqrt{49+36}=\sqrt{85}

STEP 10

Now, we can find the foci of the hyperbola. The foci are given by (0,±c)(0, \pm c).
oci=(0,±85)oci = (0, \pm \sqrt{85})The vertices are (0,±7)(0, \pm7) and the foci are (0,±85)(0, \pm \sqrt{85}).
