Q. What is the center of the hyperbola x2−y2−81=0?(_,_)
Write Equation: Write the given equation of the hyperbola.The given equation is x2−y2−81=0.
Move Constant Term: Move the constant term to the right side of the equation.x2−y2=81
Convert to Standard Form: Convert the equation into the standard form of a hyperbola.Divide both sides of the equation by 81 to get the standard form.81x2−81y2=818181x2−81y2=1
Identify Center: Identify the center of the hyperbola.The standard form of the equation of a hyperbola is (x−h)2/a2−(y−k)2/b2=1, where (h,k) is the center of the hyperbola.In our equation, (x2)/81−(y2)/81=1, we can see that h=0 and k=0.Therefore, the center of the hyperbola is (0,0).
