Vedclass · Answer

(A) Given the hyperbola equation $\frac{x^2}{16} - \frac{(y - 2)^2}{9} = 1$. Comparing this with the standard form $\frac{(x-h)^2}{a^2} - \frac{(y-k)^2}{b^2} = 1$,we have $a^2 = 16$ and $b^2 = 9$,so $a = 4$ and $b = 3$. The center is $(h, k) = (0, 2)$. The eccentricity $e$ is given by $e = \sqrt{1 + \frac{b^2}{a^2}} = \sqrt{1 + \frac{9}{16}} = \sqrt{\frac{25}{16}} = \frac{5}{4}$. The foci are given by $(h \pm ae, k)$. Substituting the values,we get $(0 \pm 4 	imes \frac{5}{4}, 2) = (\pm 5, 2)$. Thus,the foci are $(5, 2)$ and $(-5, 2)$.

The foci of the hyperbola $\frac{x^2}{16} - \frac{(y - 2)^2}{9} = 1$ are:
