Question
Identify the type of conic and find centre, foci, vertices, and directrices of the following:
`y^2/16 - x^2/9` = 1

Solution
It is Hyperbola.
The transverse axis the y axis
a2 = 16, b2 = 9
a = 4, b = 3
c2 = a2 + b2
= 16 + 6 = 25
c = 5
ae = 5
4e = 5
e = `5/4`
(a) Centre (0, 0)
(b) Vertex (0, ± a) = (0, ± 4)
(c) Foci (0, ± ae) = (0, ± 5)
(d) Equation of the directrix
y = `+- "a"/"e" = +- 4/(5/4) = +- 16/5`
y = `+- 16/5`
