Given the equation
36x%5E2-36y%5E2=1296}
Sketch and determine the parts of the hyperbola.
36x%5E2-36y%5E2=1296} .......write in standard form %28x-h%29%5E2%2Fa%5E2-%28y-k%29%5E2%2Fb%5E2=1, both sides divide by 1296
36x%5E2%2F1296-36y%5E2%2F1296=1296%2F1296}
x%5E2%2F36-y%5E2%2F36=1}
=>h=0 and k=0
=>a%5E2=36 => a=6
=>b%5E2=36 => b=6
c=sqrt%2836%2B36%29=>c=sqrt%282%2A36%29=>c=6sqrt%282%29
Parts of the Hyperbola
1. Center: (0,0)
2. Foci: is c%2C+k%29 or -c%2C+k

(6sqrt%282%29,0) and (-6sqrt%282%29,0)
3. Vertices: one vertex is at (a, 0), and the other is at (-a, 0)
since a=6
Vertices:(6, 0) and (-6, 0)
Co-vertices: (0,-6), (0,6%29%0D%0A%0D%0A4.+End+Points+of+Conjugate+Axis+%0D%0AB1=+%28%7B%7B%7B0,-6)
B2=(0, and x=-6sqrt%282%29 that passes through foci and x%5E2%2F36-y%5E2%2F36=1}
%286sqrt%282%29%29%5E2%2F36-y%5E2%2F36=1}
%2836%2A2%29%2F36-y%5E2%2F36=1}
2-y%5E2%2F36=1}
2-1=y%5E2%2F36}
1=y%5E2%2F36}
36=y%5E2}
y=6 or y=-6
points are:
E1=(6sqrt%282%29, 6)
E2=(6sqrt%282%29, -6)
E3=(-6sqrt%282%29, 6)
E4=(-6sqrt%282%29, -6)
6. Asymptotes:
y+=+%28b%2Fa%29x=>y+=+%286%2F6%29x=>y+=+x
y+=+-%28b%2Fa%29x=>y+=-+%286%2F6%29x=>y+=+-x
7. Eccentricity:
e+=+sqrt%28a%5E2%2Bb%5E2%29%2Fa
e+=+sqrt%286%5E2%2B6%5E2%29%2F6
e+=+6sqrt%282%29%2F6
e=sqrt%282%291.41421
8. Length of LR:
The length of the Latus Rectum is 2b%5E2%2Fa=+%2826%5E2%29%2F6=2%2A6=12
9. Length of Conjugate Axis: 12
10. Length of Traverse Axis:12
