Q. What is the center of the hyperbola x2−9y2=81?(_,_)
Move constant to right:x2−9y2=81Move the constant term to the right side to prepare the equation for standard form.x2−9y2−81+81=81x2−9y2=81
Convert to standard form:x2−9y2=81Convert the equation into standard form by dividing both sides by 81.81x2−819y2=8181x2/81−y2/9=1
Identify center:81x2−9y2=1Identify the center of the hyperbola.The equation can be written as (x−0)2/81−(y−0)2/9=1.Here h=0, k=0.Center of the hyperbola: (0,0)
