Q. What is the center of the hyperbola x2−4y2−100=0?(_,_)
Rewrite Equation: Rewrite the equation to isolate the constant term on one side.We start with the equation x2−4y2−100=0 and move the constant term to the right side to get x2−4y2=100.
Standard Form Conversion: Convert the equation into the standard form of a hyperbola.To do this, we divide both sides of the equation by 100 to get (x2)/100−(4y2)/100=1.Simplifying this, we have x2/100−y2/25=1.
Identify Center: Identify the center of the hyperbola.The standard form of a hyperbola is (x−h)2/a2−(y−k)2/b2=1, where (h,k) is the center of the hyperbola. In our equation x2/100−y2/25=1, we can see that it can be written as (x−0)2/100−(y−0)2/25=1. Therefore, h=0 and k=0.Center of the hyperbola: (0,0).
