QuestionGraph the hyperbola and determine its asymptotes.
Studdy Solution
STEP 1
Assumptions1. The given equation is of a hyperbola. The equation is in the standard form
3. The center of the hyperbola is at the origin (0,0)
STEP 2
From the given equation, we can identify the values of and . Here, and .
STEP 3
To find the values of a and b, we take the square root of and .
STEP 4
The asymptotes of the hyperbola are given by the equations .
STEP 5
Substitute the values of a and b into the equations for the asymptotes.
STEP 6
The equations of the asymptotes of the hyperbola are and .
STEP 7
To graph the hyperbola, we need to plot the center, vertices, and asymptotes.The center is at the origin (0,0).The vertices are at (0,4) and (0,-4) because the hyperbola opens upwards and downwards as the y-term is positive in the equation.The asymptotes are the lines and .
STEP 8
Draw the graph of the hyperbola using the information from the previous step.
