Find the vertices and foci of the hyperbola with equation quantity x plus one squared divided by sixteen minus the quantity of y plus five squared divided by nine = 1

The vertices are (3 , -5) , (-5 , -5)

The foci are (4 , -5) , (-6 , -5)

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets study the equation of the hyperbola

- The standard form of the equation of a hyperbola with  

  center (h , k) and transverse axis parallel to the x-axis is

  (x - h)²/a² - (y - k)²/b² = 1

- The length of the transverse axis is 2 a

- The coordinates of the vertices are  (h  ±  a  ,  k)

- The coordinates of the foci are (h ± c , k), where c² = a² + b²

- The distance between the foci is  2c

* Now lets solve the problem

- The equation of the hyperbola is (x + 1)²/16 - (y + 5)²/9 = 1

* From the equation

# a² = 16 ⇒ a = ± 4

# b² = 9 ⇒ b = ± 3

# h = -1

# k = -5

∵ The vertices are (h + a , k) , (h - a , k)

∴ The vertices are (-1 + 4 , -5) , (-1 - 4 , -5)

* The vertices are (3 , -5) , (-5 , -5)

∵ c² = a² + b²

∴ c² = 16 + 9 = 25

∴ c = ± 5

∵ The foci are (h ± c , k)

∴ The foci are (-1 + 5 , -5) , (-1 - 5 , -5)

* The foci are (4 , -5) , (-6 , -5)
