For the given ellipse

x225+y216=1

we have  e=11625=35

Hence, the eccentricity of the hyperbola is 5/3.
Let the hyperbola be

x2A2y2B2=1

Then B2=A2e21=A22591=169A2

Therefore, the equation of the hyperbola is 

x2A29y216A2=1

As it passes through (3, 0), we get A2=9 and B2 =16' The equation is

x29y216=1

The foci of the hyperbola are (±ae,0) = (±5,0).
The vertex of the hyperbola is (±3, 0)
