You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Multiply both sides by (-1) and get:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"2x%5E2-4y%5E2%2B8x%2B20y-61=0\"=>\"2%28x%5E2%2B4x%2B4%29-%28%282y%29%5E2-20y%2B25%29-8%2B25-61=0\"=>\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"2%28x%2B2%29%5E2-%282y-5%29%5E2=44\", divide both sides by 44 and get the equation:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%28x%2B2%29%5E2%2F22-%282y-5%29%5E2%2F44=1\" of the hyperbola.
