For given hyperbola:
center: (0,0)
a=7 (distance from center to vertices)
a^2=49
c=9 (distance from center to vertices)
c^2=81
c^2=a^2+b^2
b^2=c^2-a^2=81-49=32
Equation of given hyperbola:


..
2: vertices (0,+/-3) foci (0,+/-6)
hyperbola has a vertical transverse axis
Its standard form of equation: , (h,k)=(x,y) coordinates of center
For given hyperbola:
center: (0,0)
a=3 (distance from center to vertices)
a^2=9
c=6 (distance from center to vertices)
c^2=36 a^2+b^2
b^2=c^2-a^2=36-9=25
Equation of given hyperbola:
