Find the center vertices foci and the equations of the asymp
Find the center, vertices, foci, and the equations of the asymptotes of the hyperbola. (If an answer does not exist, enter DNE) x^2/9 - y^2/4 = 1 center (x, y) = vertices (x, y) = (smaller x-value) (x, y) = (larger x-value) foci (x, y) = (smaller x-value) (x, y) = (larger x-value) asymptotes (negative slope) (positive slope) Sketch the hyperbola using the asymptotes as an aid.
Solution
Here centre=(0,0)
And vertices =(+-3,0)
focii= (h+c,k),(h-c,k)
Here a=3 and b=2
Therefore c=sqrt(a^2 + b^2)=sqrt 13
Hence focii= (sqrt13,0),(-sqrt13,0)
smaller value= (-sqrt13,0)
larger value=(sqrt13,0)
Equation of asymptote is
y=+-(b/a)(x-h) +k
y= +-2x/3
negative slope
y=-2x/3
positive slope
y=2/3
