| Question 581789:  pls help me.
 1.asymptotes are y-x-1=0 and y+x-1=0 and y intercepts are 3 and -1. find the eq. of the hyperbola.
 2.Focus at (0,25) asymptotes intersecting at (0,5) an asymptote passing through (24,13) Find the eq. of hyperbola
 thank you. it will help a lot for me.

You can put this solution on YOUR website! 1.asymptotes are y-x-1=0 and y+x-1=0 and y intercepts are 3 and -1. find the eq. of the hyperbola. Standard form of equation for hyperbola with vertical transverse axis:
 (y-k)^2/a^2-(x-h^2/b^2=1
 given y-intercepts show that hyperbola has a vertical transverse axis.
 y-coordinate of center=1 (halfway between 3 and -1 on the y-axis
 x-coordinate of center=0
 center: (0,1)
 slope of asymptotes=±1 (from given equations of asymptotes)
 y=x+1
 y=-x+1
 slope of asymptotes also=a/b=1
 a=b
 ..
 equation:
 (y-k)^2/a^2-(x-h^2/b^2=1
 (y-1)^2/a^2-x^2/b^2=1
 using y-intercept point (0,3)
 (3-1)^2/a^2-0=1
 a^2=4
 a=2=b
 Equation of given hyperbola:
 (y-1)^2/4-x^2/4=1
 ...
 2.Focus at (0,25) asymptotes intersecting at (0,5) an asymptote passing through (24,13) Find the eq. of hyperbola.
 **
 Given focus (0,25) shows hyperbola has a vertical transverse axis
 Asymptotes intersect at center
 center: (0,5)
 Using two points, (0,5) and (24,13) of one of the asymptotes:
 slope of asymptote =∆y/∆x=(13/5)/(24/0)=8/24=1/3
 slope also=a/b=1/3
 b=3a
 ..
 c=20 (from 5 to 25 on y-axis)
 c^2=a^2+b^2
 400=a^2+(3a)^2=10a^2
 a^2=40
 a=√40
 ..
 b=3a=3√40
 b^2=9*40=360
 ..
 Equation of given hyperbola:
 (y-5)^2/40-x^2/360=1
