Vertices $(\pm 2,\,0),$ foci $(±3,\,0)$

Here, the vertices are on the $x-$ axis.

Therefore, the equation of the hyperbola is of the form $\frac{x^{2}}{a^{2}}-\frac{y^{2}}{b^{2}}=1$

since the vertices are $(\pm 2,\,0)$,  $a =2$

since the foci are $(\pm 3,\,0)$,  $c=3$

We know that $a^{2}+b^{2}=c^{2}$

$\therefore 2^{2}+b^{2}=3^{2}$

$b^{2}=9-4=5$

Thus, the equation of the hyperbola is $\frac{x^{2}}{4}-\frac{y^{2}}{5}=1$
