Q. What is the center of the hyperbola x2−25y2−100=0?(_,_)
Move constant term:x2−25y2−100=0Move the constant term to the right side.x2−25y2=100
Convert to standard form:x2−25y2=100Convert the equation into standard form.Divide both sides of the equation by 100.100x2−10025y2=100100100x2−4y2=1
Find center of hyperbola:100x2−4y2=1Find the center of the hyperbola.The standard form of a hyperbola is a2(x−h)2−b2(y−k)2=1, where (h,k) is the center.Here, the equation can be written as 100(x−0)2−4(y−0)2=1.Thus, h=0 and k=0.Center of the hyperbola: (0,0)
