more parabolas >:D

Find the vertices and foci of the hyperbola with equation quantity x minus three squared divided by sixteen minus the quantity of y plus four squared divided by nine = 1 @ganeshie8

OpenStudy (lovelyharmonics):

\[\frac{ (X-3)^2 }{ 16 } - \frac{ (Y+4)^2 }{ 9 }\]

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

hyperbola with center away from (0, 0)

OpenStudy (lovelyharmonics):

indeed c:

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

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):

\(\implies\) \(h = 3, k = -4\) \(a = 4, b = 3\)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

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

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

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)

OpenStudy (lovelyharmonics):

*-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:
