Write the standard form of the equation of the hyperbola for which the transverse axis is 4 units long and the coordinates of the foci are (1, -4 ± √7).

-
the length of the transverse axis is 4 units,

2a = 4

a = 2

the foci are (1, -4 + √7) and (1, -4 - √7)

h = 1

k + c = -4 + √7

k - c = -4 - √7

solve for k and c,

k = -4

c = √7

then we find b

c² = a² + b²

7 = 4 + b²

b² = 3

the standard form of the equation of a hyperbola with center at (h,k) and transverse axis parallel to the y-axis is given by

(y - k)²/a² - (x - h)²/b² = 1

(y + 4)²/4 - (x - 1)²/3 = 1

-
hints
locate the focii, plot them
locate the vertices, using the transverse axis
given that
a= 4/2 =2
(y-k)² /a² - (x-h)²/ b² =1 ,↨
vertices (h,k±a)
focii (h,k±c)
transverse axis vertical,
so h=1,
distance from F1--->F2 =2c
figure c out, using a and c, figure out b
and using c and the focii coordinate, find k
fill in the equation
