Question:

Certain telescopes contain both a parabolic mirror and a hyperbolic mirror. In the telescope shown in the figure, the parabola and the hyperbola share focus F1, which is 14 m above the vertex of the parabola. The hyperbola's second focus F2 is 2 m above the parabola's vertex. The vertex of the hyperbolic mirror is 1 m below F1. Position a coordinate system with the origin at the center of the hyperbola and with the foci on the y-axis. Then find the equation of the hyperbola.
