use the chart
OpenStudy (lovelyharmonics):
so its (3+-4,2) for the verticies
OpenStudy (lovelyharmonics):
and (3+- 5,2) for the foci right?
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
your hyperbola :
\(\large \dfrac{(x-3)^2}{16} - \dfrac{(y+4)^2}{9} = 1\)
which is same as :
\(\large \dfrac{(x-3)^2}{4^2} - \dfrac{(y-(-4))^2}{3^2} = 1\)
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
\(\implies\)
\(h = 3, k = -4\)
\(a = 4, b = 3\)

right ?
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
that gives :
Vertices = \((h\pm a, k) = (3 \pm 4, -4)\)
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
right ?
OpenStudy (lovelyharmonics):
k is +4 because that negatives part of the equation so you dont count it.... but if it was written as +4... oh i see where i went wrong .-.
OpenStudy (lovelyharmonics):
so verticies are (3+- (-4),-2)
and foci are (3+-5,-2

hey why are you putting k = -2 ?
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
k = -4 right ?
OpenStudy (lovelyharmonics):
oh so its (3+-4,-4)
and (3+-5,-4)?
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
Yes !
OpenStudy (lovelyharmonics):
which would be (1,-4) and (7,-4)
(-2,-4) and (8,-4)

*-1,-4 for the first one
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
which would be (\(\color{red}{-}\)1,-4) and (7,-4)
(-2,-4) and (8,-4)
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
:) looks good !
OpenStudy (lovelyharmonics):
yay c: ive got one more quesiton i got that ill tag you in c:
