Q. Write the equation in standard form for the hyperbola 9y2−x2=36.______
Identify Operation: Identify the operation to write the equation in standard form.Divide both sides by 36 to isolate the terms involving x and y on one side and the constant on the other side.Operation: Division
Perform Division: Perform the division operation on the equation 9y2−x2=36. Divide each term by 36: (9y2)/36−(x2)/36=36/36 Simplify each term: y2/4−x2/36=1
Rewrite Equation: Rewrite the equation to match the standard form of a hyperbola.The standard form of a hyperbola is (a2y2)−(b2x2)=1, where a and b are constants.In this case, a2=4 and b2=36, so a=2 and b=6.The standard form of the hyperbola is:4y2−36x2=1
