Answer:

1) The vertices of the hyperbola are (-8, -15), (-8, 3)

2) The foci of the hyperbola are (11, -7) or (1, -7)

Step-by-step explanation:

1) The vertices of a hyperbola given in the form [tex]\dfrac{\left (y - k\right)^2}{a^2} -\dfrac{\left (x - h\right)^2}{b^2} = 1[/tex] is (h, k ± a)

Therefore, for the given hyperbola with the following equation;

[tex]\dfrac{\left (y + 6\right)^2}{81} -\dfrac{\left (x + 8\right)^2}{49} = 1[/tex], we have;

[tex]\dfrac{\left (y + 6\right)^2}{9^2} -\dfrac{\left (x + 8\right)^2}{7^2} = 1[/tex]

Therefore the vertices are;

(-8, -6 ± 9) = (-8, -15), (-8, 3)

2) The equation of the given hyperbola is presented as follows;

[tex]\dfrac{\left (x - 6\right)^2}{16} -\dfrac{\left (y + 7\right)^2}{9} = 1[/tex]

The given hyperbola is of the form;

[tex]\dfrac{\left (x - h\right)^2}{a^2} -\dfrac{\left (y - k\right)^2}{b^2} = 1[/tex]

We get;

[tex]\dfrac{\left (x - 6\right)^2}{4^2} -\dfrac{\left (y + 7\right)^2}{3^2} = 1[/tex]

The foci is then (h ± c, k)

Therefore, by comparison, the foci of the given hyperbola is (6 ± c, -7)

Where c² = a² + b²

∴ c² = 4² + 3² = 25

c = √25 = 5

∴ The foci; (6 ± 5, -7) = (11, -7) or (1, -7).
