Full solution

Q. What is the center of the hyperbola x24y2=36x^2 - 4y^2 = 36?\newline(_,_)(\_,\_)
  1. Prepare for Standard Form: x24y2=36x^2 - 4y^2 = 36\newlineMove the constant term to the right side to prepare the equation for standard form.\newlinex24y236+36=36x^2 - 4y^2 - 36 + 36 = 36\newlinex24y2=36x^2 - 4y^2 = 36
  2. Convert to Standard Form: x24y2=36x^2 - 4y^2 = 36\newlineConvert the equation into standard form by dividing both sides by 3636.\newlinex2364y236=3636\frac{x^2}{36} - \frac{4y^2}{36} = \frac{36}{36}\newlinex2/36y2/9=1x^2/36 - y^2/9 = 1
  3. Find Center of Hyperbola: x236y29=1\frac{x^2}{36} - \frac{y^2}{9} = 1\newlineFind the center of the hyperbola.\newlineThe standard form of a hyperbola is (xh)2/a2(yk)2/b2=1(x - h)^2/a^2 - (y - k)^2/b^2 = 1 for a horizontal hyperbola, or (yk)2/a2(xh)2/b2=1(y - k)^2/a^2 - (x - h)^2/b^2 = 1 for a vertical hyperbola. In this case, we have a horizontal hyperbola with h=0h = 0 and k=0k = 0.\newlineCenter of the hyperbola: (0,0)(0, 0)
