Q. 6. Find the equation of the hyperbola with the vertices (0,3)(10,3) and the asymptotes y=2/5x+1 and y=−2/5x+5
Identify Hyperbola Equation Form: Identify the standard form of the equation for a hyperbola with a horizontal transverse axis.Standard form of equation for a hyperbola with a horizontal transverse axis: (x−h)2/a2−(y−k)2/b2=1
Determine Center of Hyperbola: Determine the center (h,k) of the hyperbola.The vertices are (0,3) and (10,3). The center is the midpoint of the line segment joining the vertices.h=(0+10)/2=5k=(3+3)/2=3
Calculate Semi-Major Axis: Calculate the value of the semi-major axis a.a is the distance from the center to a vertex.a=210=5
Determine Asymptote Slope: Determine the slope of the asymptotes to find the value of b. The slopes of the asymptotes for a horizontal hyperbola are given by ±ab. The given slopes are ±52. ab=52 Since we already know a=5, we can solve for b. b=(52)⋅ab=(52)⋅5b=2
Write Standard Form Equation: Write the equation of the hyperbola in standard form using the values of h, k, a, and b. Substitute the values into (x−h)2/a2−(y−k)2/b2=1. (x−5)2/52−(y−3)2/22=1 Simplify the equation. (x−5)2/25−(y−3)2/4=1
