Question
Find the equation of hyperbola which has Vertices $( \pm 7,0),e = \frac{4}{3}$

Answer

Here vertices are $(± 7, 0)$ which lie on x-axis.
So the equation of hyperbola in standard form is $\frac{{{x^2}}}{{{a^2}}} - \frac{{{y^2}}}{{{b^2}}} = 1$
$\therefore$ Vertices $(± a, 0)$ is $(± 7, 0) ⇒ a = 7$
Now $e = \frac{4}{3} \Rightarrow \frac{c}{a} = \frac{4}{3} \Rightarrow \frac{c}{7} = \frac{4}{3} \Rightarrow c = \frac{{28}}{3}$
We know that $c^2 = a^2 + b^2$
$\therefore {\left( {\frac{{28}}{3}} \right)^2} = {(7)^2} + {b^2} \Rightarrow {b^2} = \frac{{784}}{9} - 49 = \frac{{343}}{9}$
Thus required equation of hyperbola is
$\frac{{{x^2}}}{{{{(7)}^2}}} - \frac{{{y^2}}}{{\frac{{343}}{9}}} = 1 \Rightarrow \frac{{{x^2}}}{{49}} - \frac{{{9y^2}}}{{343}} = 1$
