Question

25x^2-36y^2=1

How to turn this equation to its standard form. it is a hyperbola

Answer 1

What if you divided by 900 throughout?

Answer 2

please note that I can re-write your equation as follows:
\[\frac{{{x^2}}}{{{{\left( {1/5} \right)}^2}}} - \frac{{{y^2}}}{{{{\left( {1/6} \right)}^2}}} = 1\]

Answer 3

hint:
\[\frac{{{x^2}}}{{\frac{1}{{25}}}} - \frac{{{y^2}}}{{\frac{1}{{36}}}} = 1\]

Answer 4

please keep in mind that:
\[\frac{1}{{25}} = {\left( {\frac{1}{5}} \right)^2}\quad \frac{1}{{36}} = {\left( {\frac{1}{6}} \right)^2}\]

Answer 5
