Solution:
Given equation of hyperbola is = 1 which is of the form = 1. The foci and vertices of the hyperbola lie on x-axis. Now, = 16 ⇒ a = 4 and b2 = 9 ⇒ b = 3 Also, = = 16 + 9 = 25 ⇒ c = 5 ∴ Coordinates of foci are (± c, 0) i.e. (± 5, 0) Coordinates of vertices are (± a, 0) i.e. (± 4, 0) Eccentricity (e) = = Length of latus rectum = = =
