Q. What is the center of the hyperbola x2−y2=25?(_,_)
Write Equation: Write the given equation of the hyperbola.The given equation is x2−y2=25.
Convert to Standard Form: Convert the equation to the standard form of a hyperbola.To convert the equation to the standard form, we need to express it in the form (x−h)2/a2−(y−k)2/b2=1, where (h,k) is the center of the hyperbola. Since there are no terms involving h and k, we can assume that h=0 and k=0. Therefore, the equation is already in the standard form with a2=25 and b2=25.
Identify Center: Identify the center of the hyperbola.From the standard form, we can see that the center (h,k) is (0,0).
