Q. What is the center of the hyperbola x2−4y2−64=0?(_,_)
Move constant term: Move the constant term to the right side of the equation.x2−4y2−64=0 becomes x2−4y2=64.
Convert to standard form: Convert the equation into standard form by dividing both sides by 64. 64x2−644y2=6464 simplifies to 64x2−16y2=1.
Identify center: Identify the center of the hyperbola.The equation 64x2−16y2=1 can be written as (x−0)2/64−(y−0)2/16=1.Here h=0 and k=0, so the center of the hyperbola is at the point (0,0).
