You can put this solution on YOUR website!
It is a hyperbola with axes parallel to the x- and y-axes.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y%5E2+-+16x%5E2+%2B+14y+%2B+64x+-+31+=+0\"$ ---> $\"%28y%5E2+%2B+14y%29+-+16%28x%5E2+-4x%29+=+31\"$
\n" ); document.write( "would be a good start.
\n" ); document.write( "Then you would complete the squares:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28y%5E2%2B14y%2B49%29+-+16%28x%5E2-4x%2B4%29+=+31%2B49-16%2A4\"$ --> $\"%28y%2B7%29%5E2-16%28x-2%29%5E2=16\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Dividing everything by 16, we get
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28y%2B7%29%5E2%2F16-16%28x-2%29%5E2%2F16=1\"$ --> $\"%28y%2B7%29%5E2%2F4%5E2-%28x-2%29%5E2%2F1%5E2=1\"$
\n" ); document.write( "So the hyperbola is centered at (2,-7).
\n" ); document.write( "The transverse axis is vertical $\"x=2\"$ .
\n" ); document.write( "When $\"x=2\"$ --> $\"%28y%2B7%29%5E2=4%5E2\"$
\n" ); document.write( "The hyperbola crosses the transverse axis at points (2,5) and (2,-19)
\n" ); document.write( "with y=4-7=-3 and y=-4-7=-11
\n" ); document.write( "The asymptotes cross at center (2,-7), and have the equations
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y%2B7=4%28x-2%29\"$ and $\"y%2B7=-4%28x-2%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "that derive from $\"%28y%2B7%29%5E2%2F12%5E2=%28x-2%29%5E2%2F3%5E2\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Here is half of that hyperbola, with the asymptotes:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"graph%28300%2C300%2C-3%2C7%2C-8%2C12%2C4sqrt%281%2B1%28x-2%29%5E2%29-7%2C-4x%2B1%2C4x-15%29\"$
