Q. What is the center of the hyperbola x2−y2−25=0?(_,_)
Write Equation: Write the given equation x2−y2−25=0. Move the constant term to the right side to set the equation equal to a constant. x2−y2=25
Convert to Standard Form: Convert the equation into the standard form of a hyperbola.Divide both sides of the equation by 25 to get 1 on the right side.25x2−25y2=2525Simplify the equation to get the standard form.25x2−25y2=1
Identify Center: Identify the center of the hyperbola.The standard form of a hyperbola is (x−h)2/a2−(y−k)2/b2=1, where (h,k) is the center.In our equation x2/25−y2/25=1, we can see that h=0 and k=0.Therefore, the center of the hyperbola is (0,0).
