(x^2)/(1)-(y^2)/(4)

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

\[\frac{x^2}{1} - \frac{y^2}{4}?\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

=1 yes

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

and the question is..?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

identify the vertices and foci?

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

@waterineyes you're good in algebra...some assitance please?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ha ha ha...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@sharee2012 Are you doing Hyperbola??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@waterineyes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I am not good at this.. I will surely help you can you give me one minute??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay than :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can you here identify the a.. By comparing it with the standard equation of hyperbola?/ Equation is: \[\frac{x^2}{a^2} - \frac{y^2}{b^2} = 1\] Tell me what is \(a\) here??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

16

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i mean 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes it is one.. So, firstly Coordinates of the Vertices are given by: (a, 0) and (-a, 0).. Can you know find coordinates of Vertices??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2 and sqrt4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im not sure i see this on notes -_-

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You have a = 1.. coordinates are : (a,0) and (-a,0) just place the value of a in the ordered pairs..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What are you looking for.. I give you one example then you will do it.. If I have a = 5 then coordinates of vertices would be: (5,0) and (-5,0) Now you have a = 1 can you solve it now??
