Chapter 10: Problem 68

Describe how to graph \(\frac{x^{2}}{9}-\frac{y^{2}}{1}=1\)

Short Answer

Expert verified
The graph of the hyperbola \(\frac{x^{2}}{9}-\frac{y^{2}}{1}=1\) opens to the right and left with the center of the hyperbola at the origin (0,0), vertices at (3,0) and (-3,0), and the foci at \((\sqrt{10},0)\) and \((- \sqrt{10},0)\).

Step by step solution

01

Identify the Center of the Hyperbola

The centre of the hyperbola is at the origin (0,0) because there are no \(h\) and \(k\) values on the right side of the equation \(\frac{(x-h)^{2}}{a^{2}}-\frac{(y-k)^{2}}{b^{2}}=1\)
02

Determine the Vertices

The vertices are determined by the value under \(x^{2}\) which is 9. The square root of 9 is 3, so the vertices are (3,0) and (-3,0) because \(a=3\).
03

Determine the Foci

The foci are determined from the equation \(c=\sqrt{a^{2}+b^{2}}\). In this case, \(a=3\) and \(b=1\), so \(c=\sqrt{3^{2}+1^{2}}=\sqrt{10}\). So the foci are at \((\sqrt{10},0)\) and \((- \sqrt{10},0)\)
04

Draw the Horizontal and Vertical Axes

Drawing the line \(x=0\) and \(y=0\) will give us the horizontal and vertical axes. The hyperbola is symmetric about these axes.
05

Plot the Vertices

Plotting the vertices (3,0) and (-3,0) on the same axis will help to visualize the hyperbola.
06

Draw the Hyperbola

From the origin (0,0), the hyperbola spreads out to pass through the vertices plotted in Step 5. Recall that the hyperbola opens left and right. Draw the hyperbola so it does not intersect the vertical axis. It should appear pinched in the middle, and spread out indefinitely to the left and right.

Describe a viewing rectangle, or window, such as [-30, 30, 3] by [-8, 4, 1], that shows a complete graph of each polar equation and minimizes unused portions of the screen. $$ r=\frac{16}{5-3 \cos \theta} $$

Solve the system: $$ \left\\{\begin{array}{l} {x+y=1} \\ {x^{2}+y^{2}=25} \end{array}\right. $$

Use a graphing utility to graph the equation. Then answer the given question. Use the polar equation for planetary orbits, $$ r=\frac{\left(1-e^{2}\right) a}{1-e \cos \theta} $$ to find the polar equation of the orbit for Mercury and Earth. Mercury: \(e=0.2056\) and \(a=36.0 \times 10^{6}\) miles Earth: \(\quad e=0.0167\) and \(a=92.96 \times 10^{6}\) miles Use a graphing utility to graph both orbits in the same viewing rectangle. What do you see about the orbits from their graphs that is not obvious from their equations?

Determine whether each statement makes sense or does not make sense, and explain your reasoning. I can verify that \(2 x y-9=0\) is the equation of a hyperbola by rotating the axes through \(45^{\circ}\) or by showing that \(B^{2}-4 A C>0\)

Use Cramer's Rule (determinants) to solve the system: $$ \left\\{\begin{aligned} x-y &=-5 \\ 3 x+2 y &=0 \end{aligned}\right. $$
