  1. The hyperbola \(H\) has
  • foci with coordinates \(\left( \pm \frac { 13 } { 2 } , 0 \right)\)
  • directrices with equations \(x = \pm \frac { 72 } { 13 }\)
  • eccentricity e
Determine
  1. the value of \(e\)
  2. an equation for \(H\), giving your answer in the form \(p x ^ { 2 } - q y ^ { 2 } = r\), where \(p , q\) and \(r\) are integers.
