Vertices (0, ± 5), foci (0, ± 8)
Here, the vertices are on the y-axis.
Therefore:
The equation of the hyperbola is of the form
- y²/a² - x²/b² = 1
Since, the vertices are (0, ± 5), a = 5.
Since, the foci are (0, ± 8), c = 8.
We know that:
- a² + b² = c²
Therefore:
5² + b² = 8²
b² = 64 - 25
= 39
- Thus, the equation of the hyperbola is y²/25 - x²/39 = 1

Given that: Foci (0, ±13), Conjugate axis length = 24
It is noted that the foci are on the y-axis.
Therefore, the equation of the hyperbola is of the form:
(y^2/a^2)-(x^2/b^2) = 1 …(1)
Since the foci are (0, ±13), we can get
C = 13
It is given that, the length of the conjugate axis is 24,
It becomes 2b = 24
b= 24/2
b= 12
And, we know that a^2 + b^2 = c^2
To find a, substitute the value of b and c in the above equation:
a^2 + 5^2 = 8^2
a^2 = 64-25
a^2 = 39
Now, substitute the value of a and b in equation (1), we get
(y^2/25)-(x^2/39) = 1, which is the required equation of the hyperbola
