Question 47317: please help me solve the problem,
What is the center of the hyperbola?
(x-2)^2/9-(y-5)^2/4=1
is it (3,2) 0r (9,4) or (2,5)
i tryed grafting this but it doesn't give any center when i graft it where did i go wrong?

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
(x-2)^2/9-(y-5)^2/4=1
The equation follows the form:
(x-h)^2/a^2 - (y-k)^2/b^2 = 1
which has its center at (h,k)
Therefore the center for your hyperbola
is (2,5)
