The hyperbola equation is . \ \
The standard form of the equation of a hyperbola with center (h, k) (where a and b are not equals to 0) is (Transverse axis is horizontal) or
(Transverse axis is vertical).
Write the hyperbola in the standard form.
\ \ \
The vertices and foci are, respectively a and c units from the center (h, k) and the relation between a, b and c is b2 = c2 - a2.
\Compare the equation with
.
a2 = 4, b2 = 2, k = - 3 and h = 1.
\a = ± 2 and b = ± √2.
\To find the value of c, substitute the value of a2 = 4 and b2 = 2 in b2 = c2 - a2.
\2 = c2 - 4
\2 + 4 = c2
\c = ± √6.
\1).
\Here the transverse axis is vertical, the asymptotes , with center (h, k) are of the forms y - k = (a/b)(x - h) and y - k = - (a/b) (x - h).
\Substitute the values of (h, k) = (1, - 3), a = ± 2 and b = ± √2 in y - k = ±(a/b)(x - h)
\y - (- 3)= ± 2/√2 (x - 1) \ \
\The asymptote equations are y + 3= ± √2 (x - 1).
\The right choice is option c. \ \
\2).
\Foci = (h, k ± c).
\Substitute the values (h, k) = (1, - 3) and c = ± √6.
\Foci = (h, k ± c) = (1, - 3 ± √6,).
\The right choice is option d.
