Please help!! Find the center and foci of the hyperbola

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The center of the hyperbola that its equation is : \[\frac{(y-\beta)^2}{b^2}-\frac{(x-\alpha)^2}{a^2}\] is the point : \[\Omega(\alpha,\beta).\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hello again you have the center displayed for you in the equation do you see it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{(y-k)^2}{b^2}-\frac{(x-h)^2}{a^2}\] has center \((h,k)\) and you are looking at \[\frac{(y+8)^2}{16}-\frac{(x-2)^2}{33}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so your job it only to identify \(h\) and \(k\) good so far?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i keep forgetting the \(=1\) part sorry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{(y-\color{red}k)^2}{b^2}-\frac{(x-\color{green}h)^2}{a^2}=1\]\[\frac{(y-(\color{red}{-8})^2}{16}-\frac{(x-\color{green}2)^2}{33}=1\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

center is...?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

did i lose you here? or is it okay?
