Q. What is the center of the hyperbola x2−4y2−36=0?(_,_)
Move constant to right:x2−4y2−36=0Move the constant term to the right side of the equation.x2−4y2=36
Convert to standard form:x2−4y2=36Convert the equation into standard form by dividing both sides by 36.36x2−364y2=3636Simplify the equation.36x2−9y2=1
Simplify the equation:(x2)/36−(y2)/9=1Identify 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.Here, the equation is already in standard form with h=0 and k=0.Center of the hyperbola: (0,0)
