Q. What is the center of the hyperbola x2−9y2=36?(_,_)
Move constant to right:x2−9y2=36Move the constant term to the right side to set the equation up for standard form.x2−9y2−36+36=36x2−9y2=36
Convert to standard form:x2−9y2=36Convert the equation into standard form by dividing both sides by 36.36x2−369y2=3636x2/36−y2/4=1
Find center of hyperbola:36x2−4y2=1Find the center of the hyperbola.The equation can be written as (x−0)2/36−(y−0)2/4=1.Here h=0, k=0.Center of the hyperbola: (0,0)
