Answer

$\frac{y^2}{1}-\frac{4y^2}{3}=1$

Work Step by Step

Foci: $(0,±c)=(0,±1)$ $c=1$ Transverse axis is vertical. Length $=2a=1$ $a=\frac{1}{2}$ $c^2=a^2+b^2$ $b^2=c^2-a^2=1^2-(\frac{1}{2})^2=1-\frac{1}{4}=\frac{3}{4}$ $b=\frac{\sqrt 3}{2}$ Hyperbola with vertoical transverse axis: $\frac{y^2}{a^2}-\frac{x^2}{b^2}=1$ $\frac{y^2}{1^2}-\frac{y^2}{(\frac{\sqrt 3}{2})^2}=1$ $\frac{y^2}{1}-\frac{4y^2}{3}=1$
