Detailed Solution
For the given ellipsex225+y216=1we have e=1−1625=35Hence, the eccentricity of the hyperbola is 5/3.Let the hyperbola bex2A2−y2B2=1Then B2=A2e2−1=A2259−1=169A2Therefore, the equation of the hyperbola is x2A2−9y216A2=1As it passes through (3, 0), we get A2=9 and B2 =16' The equation isx29−y216=1The foci of the hyperbola are (±ae,0) = (±5,0).The vertex of the hyperbola is (±3, 0)
