Find an equation for the hyperbola described. Graph the equation
Center at (4, -5); Focus at (10, -5); Vertex at (5, -5)
Write an equation for the hyperbola
Graph the equation
Solution
(x-h)2/a2 - (y - k)2/b2 =1
now as the center is at (4,-5) ,h = 4, k = -5
distance between vertex and centre = 1 so ,a =1
also distance between center and focus = 6 = ae = sqrt(a2 + b2)
b2 = 36 - 1 = 35
equation of hyperbola = (x-4)2 - (y + 5)2/35 =1
