Q. What is the center of the hyperbola x2−y2−4=0?(_,_)
Move constant term:x2−y2−4=0Move the constant term to the right side of the equation.x2−y2=4
Convert to standard form:x2−y2=4Convert the equation into standard form for a hyperbola.Divide both sides of the equation by 4.(x2)/4−(y2)/4=4/4x2/4−y2/4=1
Find center:4x2−4y2=1Find the center of the hyperbola.The equation can be written as (x−0)2/4−(y−0)2/4=1.Here h=0, k=0.Center of the hyperbola: (0,0)
