| Question 1181018:  Please help me solve this problem
 Convert the General Equation 36y2-64x2-128x-144y-2512=0 to Standard form.
 Sketch and determine the parts of the Hyperbola.
 Parts of Hyperbola:
 1. Center
 2. Foci
 3. Vertices
 4. Length of Conjugate Axis B1, B2
 5. End Points of Latus Rectum E1, E2, E3, E4
 6. Asymptotes
 7. Eccentricity
 8. Length of LR
 9. Length of Conjugate Axis
 10. Length of Traverse Axis
 Thank you and God bless

You can put this solution on YOUR website! Convert the General Equation
 
  to Standard form. 
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
  ....both sides divide by   
  ...simplify 
   
   Up-down hyperbola with:
 =>
  ,  , 
  ,   Sketch and determine the parts of the Hyperbola.
 Parts of Hyperbola:
 1. Center:=>
  ,  => center (  ,  ) 2. Foci:
  or   
  ->   so, foci are at
 (
  ,  ) or (  ,  ) (
  ,  ) or (  ,  ) 3. Vertices:(
  ,  ), and the other is at (  ,  ) (
  ,  ), (  ,  ) (
  ,  ), (  ,  ) Co-vertices :
 (
  ,  ) => (  ,  ) (
  ,  ) =>(  ,  ) 4. End Points of Conjugate Axis B1, B2
 The co-vertices of a hyperbola are the endpoints of the conjugate axis
 B1=(
  ,  ) B2=(
  ,  ) distance between:
   5. End Points of Latus Rectum
 take y coordinate of the focus, as a line
 foci is at (
  ,  ) or (  ,  ) take
  and find intersection with  
   
  ≈  
  ≈   E1= (
  ,  ) E2=(
  ,  ) E3=(
  ,  ) E4=(
  ,  ) 6. Asymptotes:
  ,  7. Eccentricity:
  8. Length of LR:
  ≈  10. Length of Traverse Axis:12sqrt(2) ≈16.97
