Q. Write the equation in standard form for the hyperbola 4x2−y2=16.______
Identify Operation: Identify the operation to write the equation in standard form.Divide both sides by 16 to isolate the terms on the left side of the equation.Operation: Division
Perform Division: Perform the division operation on the equation 4x2−y2=16. Divide each term by 16: (4x2)/16−(y2)/16=16/16 Simplify each term: x2/4−y2/16=1
Check Standard Form: Check the resulting equation to ensure it is in standard form for a hyperbola.The standard form for a hyperbola is (a2x2)−(b2y2)=1, where a and b are real numbers.The equation 4x2−16y2=1 matches this form, with a2=4 and b2=16.
