Find the vertices foci and asymptotes of the hyperbola y2 9
Find the vertices, foci, and asymptotes of the hyperbola y2 9 x2 16 = 1. (Enter your asymptotes as a comma-separated list of equations.)
vertex (x, y) = (smaller y-value)
vertex (x, y) = (larger y-value)
focus (x, y) = (smaller y-value)
focus (x, y) = (larger y-value)
asymptotes
Sketch the graph of the hyperbola.
Solution
y2/9 -x2/16=1
Here the centre (h,k) is (0,0)
Here a^2=9 and b^2=16
Vertices= (h,k+-a)=(0,+-3)
smaller value (0,-3)
larger value (0,3)
c^2=a^2 + b^2= 25
focii= (h,k+-c)= (0,+-5)
smaller value = (0,-5)
larger value (0,5)
