QuestionConvert the hyperbola equation to standard form and graph it.
Studdy Solution
STEP 1
Assumptions1. The given equation is of a hyperbola.
. The general form of a hyperbola equation is .
3. The standard form of a hyperbola equation is if the hyperbola opens horizontally or if the hyperbola opens vertically, where (h,k) is the center of the hyperbola.
STEP 2
First, we need to group the x-terms and y-terms together in the given equation.
STEP 3
Next, we complete the square for the x-terms and y-terms. To do this, we take the coefficient of the x-term (or y-term), divide by2, and square it. We then add and subtract this value to the equation.
STEP 4
We simplify the equation by factoring the perfect square trinomials and combining like terms.
STEP 5
We isolate the hyperbola equation by moving the constant term to the other side of the equation.
STEP 6
We divide through by the constant on the right side of the equation to get the equation in standard form.
STEP 7
We simplify the fractions in the equation.
STEP 8
Now that we have the equation in standard form, we can identify the center, a, and b of the hyperbola. The center is (-1,1), a is , and b is .
STEP 9
To graph the hyperbola, we plot the center at (-,). Then, we move right and left from the center by a units and up and down from the center by b units to get the vertices and co-vertices of the hyperbola. We can then sketch the hyperbola by drawing curves that pass through these points.
