Hyperbolas
Hyperbolas
Example 2
Graph the following hyperbola. Find its center, vertices, foci, and the equations of its asymptote lines.
Vertices: (0, 2), (0, -2)
Foci: (0, ?13), (0, -?13)
Equations of asymptote lines:
Step 1 . Identify the center, vertices, foci, and the equations of asymptotes.
This is a hyperbola with center at (0, 0), and its transverse axis is along the y-axis.
Vertices: (0, 2), (0, -2)
Foci: (0, ?13), (0, -?13)
Equations of asymptote lines:
Step 2 . Graph the conic.
