Write equations of hyperbolas in standard form
Write equations of hyperbolas in standard form
What you'll learn
- Identify the center, vertices, and foci of a hyperbola given its equation in general form, and accurately convert the equation to standard form.
- Solve problems by writing the equation of a hyperbola in standard form given key information such as the center, vertices, foci, asymptotes, or a combination thereof, and verify the solution using graphing technology.
- Explain the relationship between the parameters (a, b, c) in the standard form equation of a hyperbola and its graphical characteristics, including the orientation (horizontal or vertical transverse axis), and justify the reasoning using algebraic and geometric representations.
- Apply knowledge of conic sections to solve real-world application problems involving hyperbolas, such as determining the location of a ship using LORAN (LOng RAnge Navigation) systems, by formulating and solving appropriate equations in standard form.
