Hyperbolas (Vertical)
Question 1
How do you determine the center of the hyperbola?
Question 2
Write a rule describing how to find the vertices of the hyperbola based on your coordinates in question 1.
Question 3
Write a rule describing how to find the foci of the hyperbola based on your coordinates in question 1.
Question 4
Just like the horizontal hyperbola, the branches of the vertical hyperbola get close to, but never actually touch the slant asymptotes. Determine the equations of these two lines.
Question 5
What is the equation of the hyperbola in "Hyperbola Equation #1"?
Question 6
What are the slopes of the asymptotes in "Hyperbola Equation #1"?
Question 7
Determine the equation of the hyperbola in "Hyperbola Equation #2." Also, give the equations of the asymptotes.
