Answer:
The statement is true
Explanation:
We have been given an equation of hyperbola
In the given equation of hyperbola center is located at h at -1 and k at 2. so:
C:(h,k) = (-1,2)
Coordinated of the foci of the hyperbola are given as:
Foci: (h, k ± c)
Substitute the values of h and k into the coordinated of foci of hyperbola.
Foci: (-1, 2 ± c)
Where c can be found by using the given formula
c = √(a²+b²)
c = √(16+144)
c = 4√10
So the the coordinates of the foci are:
Foci: (-1, 2 - 4√10) and (-1, 2 + 4√10)
Thus, the statement given is true
