Solution

Foci (0, ±13), the conjugate axis is of length 24.

Here, the foci are on the y-axis.

Therefore, the equation of the hyperbola is of the form.

Since the foci are (0, ±13), c = 13.

Since the length of the conjugate axis is 24, 2b = 24 ⇒ b = 12.

We know that a2 + b2 = c2.

a2 + 122 = 132

a2 = 169 – 144 = 25

Thus, the equation of the hyperbola is.
