Graph a hyperbola with center at

Graph a Hyperbola with Center at

The last conic section we will look at is called a hyperbola. We will see that the equation of a hyperbola looks the same as the equation of an ellipse, except it is a difference rather than a sum. While the equations of an ellipse and a hyperbola are very similar, their graphs are very different.

We define a hyperbola as all points in a plane where the difference of their distances from two fixed points is constant. Each of the fixed points is called a focus of the hyperbola.

The line through the foci, is called the transverse axis. The two points where the transverse axis intersects the hyperbola are each a vertex of the hyperbola. The midpoint of the segment joining the foci is called the center of the hyperbola. The line perpendicular to the transverse axis that passes through the center is called the conjugate axis. Each piece of the graph is called a branch of the hyperbola.

Again our goal is to connect the geometry of a conic with algebra. Placing the hyperbola on a rectangular coordinate system gives us that opportunity. In the figure, we placed the hyperbola so the foci \(((\text{-}c,0),(c,0))\) are on the x-axis and the center is the origin.

The definition states the difference of the distance from the foci to a point \((x,y)\) is constant. So \(|{d}_{1}-{d}_{2}|\) is a constant that we will call \(2a\) so \(|{d}_{1}-{d}_{2}|=2a.\) We will use the distance formula to lead us to an algebraic formula for an ellipse.

\(\begin{array}{llll} & & & \ |{d}_{1}\ -\ {d}_{2}|\ =2a \\ \text{Use the distance formula to find}\ {d}_{1},{d}_{2} & & & \ |\sqrt{{(x-(-c))}^{2}+{(y-0)}^{2}}-\sqrt{{(x-c)}^{2}+{(y-0)}^{2}}\ |=2a \\ \text{Eliminate the radicals.} & & & \\ \begin{array}{l}\text{To simplify the equation of the ellipse, we} \\ \text{let}\ {c}^{2}-{a}^{2}={b}^{2}.\end{array} & & & \ \frac{{x}^{2}}{{a}^{2}}+\frac{{y}^{2}}{{c}^{2}-{a}^{2}}=1\ \\ \begin{array}{l}\text{So, the equation of a hyperbola centered at} \\ \text{the origin in standard form is:}\end{array} & & & \ \frac{{x}^{2}}{{a}^{2}}-\frac{{y}^{2}}{{b}^{2}}=1\ \end{array}\)

To graph the hyperbola, it will be helpful to know about the intercepts. We will find the x-intercepts and y-intercepts using the formula.

Graph a Hyperbola with Center at

Hyperbolas are not always centered at the origin. When a hyperbola is centered at \((h,k)\) the equations changes a bit as reflected in the table.

Standard Forms of the Equation a Hyperbola with Center \((h,k)\)
\(\frac{{(x-h)}^{2}}{{a}^{2}}-\frac{{(y-k)}^{2}}{{b}^{2}}=1\)\(\frac{{(y-k)}^{2}}{{a}^{2}}-\frac{{(x-h)}^{2}}{{b}^{2}}=1\)

How to Graph a Hyperbola with Center

Try it.

Graph \(\frac{{(x-1)}^{2}}{9}-\frac{{(y-2)}^{2}}{16}=1\)

Solution

We summarize the steps for easy reference.

Be careful as you identify the center. The standard equation has \(x-h\) and \(y-k\) with the center as \((h,k).\)

Example

Try it.

Graph \(\frac{{(y+2)}^{2}}{9}-\frac{{(x+1)}^{2}}{4}=1.\)

Solution

Since the \({y}^{2}\text{-}\)term is positive, the hyperbola
opens up and down.
Find the center, \((h,k).\)Center: \((-1,-2)\)
Find a, b.\(a=3\) \(b=2\)
Sketch the rectangle that goes through the
points 3 units above and below the center and
2 units to the left/right of the center.
Sketch the asymptotes, the lines through the
diagonals of the rectangle.
Mark the vertices.
Graph the branches.

Again, sometimes we have to put the equation in standard form as our first step.

Identify Conic Sections by their Equations

Now that we have completed our study of the conic sections, we will take a look at the different equations and recognize some ways to identify a conic by its equation. When we are given an equation to graph, it is helpful to identify the conic so we know what next steps to take.

To identify a conic from its equation, it is easier if we put the variable terms on one side of the equation and the constants on the other.

ConicCharacteristics of \({x}^{2}\text{-}\) and \({y}^{2}\text{-}\) termsExample
ParabolaEither \({x}^{2}\) OR \({y}^{2}.\) Only one variable is squared.\(x=3{y}^{2}-2y+1\)
Circle\({x}^{2}\text{-}\) and \({y}^{2}\text{-}\) terms have the same coefficients\({x}^{2}+{y}^{2}=49\)
Ellipse\({x}^{2}\text{-}\) and \({y}^{2}\text{-}\) terms have the same sign, different coefficients\(4{x}^{2}+25{y}^{2}=100\)
Hyperbola\({x}^{2}\text{-}\) and \({y}^{2}\text{-}\) terms have different signs, different coefficients\(25{y}^{2}-4{x}^{2}=100\)
Example

Try it.

Identify the graph of each equation as a circle, parabola, ellipse, or hyperbola.

Solution


\(9{x}^{2}+4{y}^{2}+56y+160=0\)
The \({x}^{2}\)- and \({y}^{2}\)-terms have the same sign and different coefficients.Ellipse



\(9{x}^{2}-16{y}^{2}+18x+64y-199=0\)
The \({x}^{2}\)- and \({y}^{2}\)-terms have different signs and different coefficients.Hyperbola



\({x}^{2}+{y}^{2}-6x-8y=0\)
The \({x}^{2}\)- and \({y}^{2}\)-terms have the same coefficients.Circle



\(y=-2{x}^{2}-4x-5\)
Only one variable, \(x\), is squared.Parabola

Key Concepts

سوالاتي که مردم ميپرسن

What is a function, really?

A rule that assigns exactly one output to each input. The vertical-line test on a graph is the same idea: no input may have two outputs.

Why do we need complex numbers?

Because x² + 1 = 0 has no real solution, and allowing one new number i with i² = −1 makes every polynomial equation solvable. They then turn out to describe rotation, waves and alternating current more naturally than real numbers do.
