Step-by-step solution for: SOLUTION: Kuta Software Infinite Precalculus: Hyperbolas - Studypool
Problem Analysis:
The task involves identifying the vertices, foci, and asymptotes of hyperbolas given their equations, and then sketching their graphs. The equations provided are in standard forms for hyperbolas.
#### Standard Forms of Hyperbolas:
1. Horizontal Transverse Axis:
\[
\frac{x^2}{a^2} - \frac{y^2}{b^2} = 1
\]
- Vertices: \((\pm a, 0)\)
- Foci: \((\pm c, 0)\), where \(c = \sqrt{a^2 + b^2}\)
- Asymptotes: \(y = \pm \frac{b}{a}x\)
2. Vertical Transverse Axis:
\[
\frac{y^2}{a^2} - \frac{x^2}{b^2} = 1
\]
- Vertices: \((0, \pm a)\)
- Foci: \((0, \pm c)\), where \(c = \sqrt{a^2 + b^2}\)
- Asymptotes: \(y = \pm \frac{a}{b}x\)
---
Solution for Each Problem:
#### Problem 1:
Equation:
\[
\frac{x^2}{9} - \frac{y^2}{25} = 1
\]
1. Identify \(a\) and \(b\):
- From the equation, \(a^2 = 9\) and \(b^2 = 25\).
- Therefore, \(a = 3\) and \(b = 5\).
2. Vertices:
- Since the transverse axis is horizontal, the vertices are at \((\pm a, 0)\).
- Vertices: \((3, 0)\) and \((-3, 0)\).
3. Foci:
- Calculate \(c\):
\[
c = \sqrt{a^2 + b^2} = \sqrt{9 + 25} = \sqrt{34}
\]
- The foci are at \((\pm c, 0)\).
- Foci: \((\sqrt{34}, 0)\) and \((- \sqrt{34}, 0)\).
- Approximate \(\sqrt{34} \approx 5.8\).
- Foci: \((5.8, 0)\) and \((-5.8, 0)\).
4. Asymptotes:
- The asymptotes for a horizontal hyperbola are given by \(y = \pm \frac{b}{a}x\).
- Here, \(\frac{b}{a} = \frac{5}{3}\).
- Asymptotes: \(y = \frac{5}{3}x\) and \(y = -\frac{5}{3}x\).
5. Sketch the Graph:
- Plot the vertices at \((3, 0)\) and \((-3, 0)\).
- Plot the foci at \((5.8, 0)\) and \((-5.8, 0)\).
- Draw the asymptotes \(y = \frac{5}{3}x\) and \(y = -\frac{5}{3}x\).
- Sketch the hyperbola branches approaching the asymptotes.
#### Problem 2:
Equation:
\[
(y + 4)^2 - (x - 3)^2 = 1
\]
1. Identify \(a\) and \(b\):
- Rewrite the equation in standard form:
\[
\frac{(y + 4)^2}{1} - \frac{(x - 3)^2}{1} = 1
\]
- Here, \(a^2 = 1\) and \(b^2 = 1\).
- Therefore, \(a = 1\) and \(b = 1\).
2. Vertices:
- The center of the hyperbola is \((h, k) = (3, -4)\).
- Since the transverse axis is vertical, the vertices are at \((h, k \pm a)\).
- Vertices: \((3, -4 + 1) = (3, -3)\) and \((3, -4 - 1) = (3, -5)\).
3. Foci:
- Calculate \(c\):
\[
c = \sqrt{a^2 + b^2} = \sqrt{1 + 1} = \sqrt{2}
\]
- The foci are at \((h, k \pm c)\).
- Foci: \((3, -4 + \sqrt{2})\) and \((3, -4 - \sqrt{2})\).
- Approximate \(\sqrt{2} \approx 1.4\).
- Foci: \((3, -2.6)\) and \((3, -5.4)\).
4. Asymptotes:
- The asymptotes for a vertical hyperbola are given by \(y - k = \pm \frac{a}{b}(x - h)\).
- Here, \(\frac{a}{b} = 1\).
- Asymptotes: \(y + 4 = \pm 1(x - 3)\).
- Simplify:
\[
y + 4 = x - 3 \quad \text{or} \quad y = x - 7
\]
\[
y + 4 = -x + 3 \quad \text{or} \quad y = -x - 1
\]
- Asymptotes: \(y = x - 7\) and \(y = -x - 1\).
5. Sketch the Graph:
- Plot the center at \((3, -4)\).
- Plot the vertices at \((3, -3)\) and \((3, -5)\).
- Plot the foci at \((3, -2.6)\) and \((3, -5.4)\).
- Draw the asymptotes \(y = x - 7\) and \(y = -x - 1\).
- Sketch the hyperbola branches approaching the asymptotes.
