Chapter 11: Q. 159E (page 1134)

In the following exercises, graph
$\frac{{(x - 1)}^{2}}{16} - \frac{{(y - 3)}^{2}}{4} = 1$

Short Answer

Expert verified

The graph is

Step by step solution

Step 1. Given information

The equation is $\frac{{(x - 1)}^{2}}{16} - \frac{{(y - 3)}^{2}}{4} = 1$

Draw the graph.

Step 2. Calculation

The x² term is positive, the transverse axis is horizontal.

The hyperbola opens left and right.

Find the centre $(h, k)$

Compare the equation with standard form $\frac{{(y - h)}^{2}}{a^{2}} - \frac{{(x - k)}^{2}}{b^{2}} = 1$

So, $(h, k) = (1, 3)$ and

$a^{2} = 16 \Rightarrow a = \pm 4$ and $b^{2} = 4 \Rightarrow b = \pm 2$

Sketch the rectangle that goes through the points 4 units left/right of centre 2 units above/ below the centre .

Step 3. Draw the graph

Sketch the graph using asymptotes
