Compare it to standard form of hyperbola \"image\"

\

"a " is the number in the denominator of the positive term

\

If the x -term is positive, then the hyperbola is horizontal

\

a = semi-transverse axis = 6

\

b = semi-conjugate axis = 2

\

center: (h, k ) = (0,2)

\

Vertices: (h + a, k ), (h - a, k )

\

= (0+6, 2) , (0-6, 2)

\

Vertices of the hyperbola  (6, 2), (-6, 2)

\

c  = distance from the center to each focus along the transverse axis
