a hyperbolic mirror can be used to take panoramic photos, if the camera is pointed toward the mirror with the lens at one focus of the hperbola. Write the equation of the hyperbola that can be used to model a mirror that has a vertex 4 inches from the center of the hyperbola and a focus 1 inch in front of the surface of the mirro. Assume the mirror has a horizonatal transverse axis and the hyperbola is centered at (0,0).

So pretty much you are just translating the hyperbola. Make sure you have the parent graph, graphed first. and then translate it going up 4 and 1 to the right

It should look something like that
