Q. What is the center of the hyperbola x2−y2−49=0?(_,_)
Write Equation: Write the given equation x2−y2−49=0. Move the constant term to the right side to set the equation equal to a positive constant. x2−y2+49−49=49x2−y2=49
Move Constant Term: Convert the equation into the standard form of a hyperbola.Divide both sides of the equation by 49.49x2−49y2=494949x2−49y2=1
Convert to Standard Form: 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.Our equation x2/49−y2/49=1 can be rewritten as (x−0)2/49−(y−0)2/49=1.Here, h=0 and k=0.Center of the hyperbola: (0,0)
