The hyperbola has two vertices at (-2,0) and (2,0)

We have given that the equation

[tex]\frac{x^2}{4}-\frac{y^2}{9}=1[/tex]

What is the equation of the hyperbola?

[tex]\frac{x^{2} }{a^2}+\frac{y^2}{b^2} =1[/tex]

Compare the above equation of the hyperbola with given equation

therefore a=2

vertices are (-a,0) and (a,0)

Therefore the vertices are (-2,0) and (2,0)

See the graph of the hyperbola in link given below.
