Asymptotes y = +- 5/4x one vertex is 0,3 what is equation of hyperbola

Identify Conic Section: Identify the type of conic section based on the given asymptotes and vertex. The asymptotes y = ± 5/4x suggest a hyperbola centered at the origin, and the vertex at (0,3) indicates a vertical hyperbola. Standard Form: Use the standard form of a vertical hyperbola centered at the origin, which is (y-k)^2/a^2 - (x-h)^2/b^2 = 1, where (h,k) is the center and 'a' is the distance from the center to each vertex along the y-axis. Center and 'a': Since the vertex given is (0,3), and it's a vertical hyperbola, the center is at (0,0) and 'a' is 3. This is because the vertex is 3 units away from the center along the y-axis. Solve for 'b': The slopes of the asymptotes for a vertical hyperbola are given by ±a/b. We know the slopes are ±5/4, so setting a/b = 5/4 and knowing a = 3, solve for 'b'. a/b = 5/4 3/b = 5/4 b = 3 * 4/5 b = 12/5 or 2.4 Plug Values into Equation: Plug the values of 'a' and 'b' into the standard form equation of the hyperbola. (y-0)^2/3^2 - (x-0)^2/(12/5)^2 = 1 y^2/9 - x^2/(2.88) = 1

what is equation of hyperbola

Identify Conic Section: Identify the type of conic section based on the given asymptotes and vertex. The asymptotes $y = \pm \frac{5}{4}x$ suggest a hyperbola centered at the origin, and the vertex at $(0,3)$ indicates a vertical hyperbola.
Standard Form: Use the standard form of a vertical hyperbola centered at the origin, which is $y-k)^2/a^2 - (x-h)^2/b^2 = 1\, where \$h,k$ is the center and ' $a$ ' is the distance from the center to each vertex along the y-axis.
Center and 'a': Since the vertex given is $(0,3)$ , and it's a vertical hyperbola, the center is at $(0,0)$ and ' $a$ ' is $3$ . This is because the vertex is $3$ units away from the center along the y-axis.
Solve for 'b': The slopes of the asymptotes for a vertical hyperbola are given by $\pm\frac{a}{b}$ . We know the slopes are $\pm\frac{5}{4}$ , so setting $\frac{a}{b} = \frac{5}{4}$ and knowing $a = 3$ , solve for 'b'. $\newline$ $\frac{a}{b} = \frac{5}{4}$ $\newline$ $\frac{3}{b} = \frac{5}{4}$ $\newline$ $b = 3 \times \frac{4}{5}$ $\newline$ $b = \frac{12}{5} \text{ or } 2.4$
Plug Values into Equation: Plug the values of $a$ and $b$ into the standard form equation of the hyperbola. $\newline$ $(y-0)^2/3^2 - (x-0)^2/(12/5)^2 = 1$ $\newline$ $y^2/9 - x^2/(2.88) = 1$
