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
