Q. If the equation of hyperbola is $\frac{x^{2}}{9}-\frac{y^{2}}{16}=1$, then

Conic Sections

Solution:

The foci are always on the transverse axis. It is the positive term whose denominator gives the transverse axis.
Thus, $\frac{x^{2}}{9}-\frac{y^{2}}{16}=1$ has transverse axis along $x$ -axis of length $6$ .
