Question

im working with hyperbolas and need to know how to get the equation into x^2\a-y^2/b form.

the equation im working with is 16y^2-x^2=144

Answer 1

you wanto change it to :-

\(\large \frac{x^2}{a^2} - \frac{y^2}{b^2} = 1\)

Answer 2

since you're seeing \(1\) on right side,
start by dividing whole thing by 144, so that u get \(1\) on right side
