What information do you need to graph hyperbolas?
Answers
If It's known the equation of the hyperbolas, that is:
(
x
−
x
c
)
2
a
2
−
(
y
−
y
c
)
2
b
2
=
±
1
,
we can graph the hyperbolas in this way:
find the center
C
(
x
c
,
y
c
)
;
make a rectangle with the center in
C
and with sides
2
a
and
2
b
;
draw the lines that pass from the opposite vertices of the rectangle (the asymptotes);
if the sign of
1
is
+
, than the two branches are left and right of the rectangule and the vertices are in the middle of the vertical sides, if the sign of
1
is
−
, than the two branches are up and down of the rectangule and the vertices are in the middle of the horizontal sides.
Answer:
To graph a hyperbola....
• Determine if it is horizontal or vertical. Find the center point, a, and b.
• Graph the center point.
• Use the a value to find the two vertices.
• Use the b value to draw the guiding box and asymptotes.
• Draw the hyperbola.
