Question

What are the vertices of the hyperbola given by the equation ((y-8)^2 /4) - ((x-5)^2/9) =1 ?

(2, 8) and (8, 8)

(3, 8) and (7, 8)

(5, 5) and (5, 11)

(5, 6) and (5, 10)

Answer 1

Since y² is the positive squared term, the pair of hyperbolas open vertically up and down.

Answer 2

the centre (h,k) = (5,8)
