Q. What is the center of the hyperbola x2−y2−100=0?(_,_)
Rewrite Equation: Rewrite the given hyperbola equation in standard form.The given equation is x2−y2−100=0. To find the center, we need to express the equation in the standard form of a hyperbola, which is (x−h)2/a2−(y−k)2/b2=1, where (h,k) is the center of the hyperbola.First, we move the constant term to the right side of the equation:x2−y2=100
Divide by Constant: Divide the equation by the constant term on the right side to get the standard form.Dividing both sides by 100, we get:100x2−100y2=1This can be rewritten as:102x2−102y2=1
Identify Center: Identify the center of the hyperbola. The equation is now in the form (102x2)−(102y2)=1, which is similar to the standard form (a2(x−h)2)−(b2(y−k)2)=1. Since there are no terms (x−h) or (y−k), we can conclude that h=0 and k=0. Therefore, the center of the hyperbola is at the point (h,k)=(0,0).
