Find the center, vertices, foci, and asymptotes of the hyperbola.
***
Given hyperbola has a horizontal transverse axis.
Its standard form of equation: , (h,k)=(x,y) coordinates of center.
For given hyperbola:
center: (-4,0)
a^2=16
a=√16=4
vertices:(-4±a,0)=(-4±4,0)=(-8,0) and (0,0)
..
b^2=16
b=√16=4
..
c^2=a^2+b^2=16+16=32
c=√32≈5.7
foci:(-4±c,0)=(-4±5.7,0)=(-9.7,0) and (1.7,0)
..
slope of asymptotes=±b/a=±4/4=±1
Equations of asymptotes:y=mx+b, m=slope,b=y-intercept
For slope=1
y=x+b
using coordinates of center to solve for b
0=-4+b
b=4
equation: y=x+4
..
For slope=-1
y=-x+b
using coordinates of center to solve for b
0=4+b
b=-4
equation: y=-x-4
