Answer

(a) Center: $C(0,0)$ Vertices: $V(±7,0)$ Foci: $F(±9,0)$ Asymptotes: $y=±\frac{4\sqrt 2}{7}x$ (b) Length of the transverse axis: $2a=14$ (c)

Work Step by Step

Hyperbola with center at $(h,k)$ (horizontal transverse axis): $\frac{(x-h)^2}{a^2}-\frac{(y-k)^2}{b^2}=1$ $\frac{x^2}{49}-\frac{y^2}{32}=1$ $\frac{(x-0)^2}{7^2}-\frac{(y-0)^2}{(4\sqrt 2)^2}=1$ $h=0$ $k=0$ Center: $C(0,0)$ $a=7$ $b=4\sqrt 2$ $c^2=a^2+b^2=7^2+(4\sqrt 2)^2=49+32=81$ $c=9$ Vertices: $V(±a,0)=V(±7,0)$ Foci: $F(±c,0)=F(±9,0)$ Asymptotes: $y=±\frac{b}{a}x=±\frac{4\sqrt 2}{7}x$ Length of the transverse axis: $2a=14$
