Q. What is the center of the hyperbola x2−y2=36?(_,_)
Write Equation: Write the given equation of the hyperbola.The given equation is x2−y2=36.
Standard Form: Rewrite the equation in standard form.To get the standard form of the hyperbola equation, we need to isolate the terms with x and y on one side and the constant on the other side. The equation is already in this form, so we can proceed to the next step.
Divide by 36: Divide both sides of the equation by 36 to get the standard form of the hyperbola equation.36x2−36y2=3636Simplify the equation to get:36x2−36y2=1
Identify Center: Identify the center of the hyperbola. The standard form of the hyperbola equation is (x−h)2/a2−(y−k)2/b2=1, where (h,k) is the center of the hyperbola. In our equation, x2/36−y2/36=1, we can see that h=0 and k=0, so the center is at the origin (0,0).
