Writing the Equation of a Hyperbola
Write the equation of the hyperbola with centre at (2, -3), one
vertex at (6, -3), and the coordinates of one focus at (-3, -3).
The centre is (2, -3), so h = 2, k = -3.
The distance from the centre to the vertex is 4 units, so a = 4.
The distance from the centre to the foci is 5 units, so c = 5.
Use the Pythagorean property to find b:
b2 = c2 - a2
= 25 - 16 9(x - 2)2 - 16(y + 3)2 = 1
=9 9(x2 - 4x + 4) - 16(y2 + 6y + 9) = 144
b = 3 9x2 - 36x + 36 - 16y2 - 96y - 144 = 144
9x2 - 16y2 - 36x - 96y + 36 - 144 = 144
