Hyperbolic Functions - Algebra 2

The standard equation of a hyperbola is:

In order to express the given hyperbolic function in standard form, we must write it in one of the following two ways:

From our formulas for the standard form of a hyperbolic equation above, we can see that the term on the right side of the equation is always 1, so we must divide both sides of the given equation by 52, which gives us:

Simplifying, we obtain our final answer in standard form:

The correct definition of hyperbolic sine is:

Therefore, by multiplying 2 by both sides we get the following answer,

Find the values of hyperbolic sine and cosine when x is zero. According to the properties:

Therefore:

The hyperbolic tangent will need to be rewritten in terms of hyperbolic sine and cosine.

According to the properties:

Therefore:

The following is a property of hyperbolics that is closely similar to the problem.

We will need to rewrite this equation by taking a negative one as the common factor, and divide the negative one on both sides.

Substitute the value into the problem.

The parent function of a hyperbola is represented by the function where is the center of the hyperbola. To shift the original function up by simply add . To shift it to the right take away .

Write the standard forms for a hyperbola.

OR:

Identify the coefficients and substitute to find the value of .

The answer is:

In order to determine the center, we will first need to rewrite this equation in standard form.

Isolate 41 on the right side. Subtract and add on both sides.

The equation becomes:

Group the x and y terms. Be careful of the negative signs.

Pull out a common factor of 4 on the second parentheses.

Complete the square twice. Divide the second term of each parentheses by two and square the quantity. Add the terms on both sides.

This equation becomes:

Factorize the left side and simplify the right.

Divide both sides by nine.

The equation is now in the standard form of a hyperbola.

The center is at:

The answer is:

The equation for a horizontal hyperbola is . The equation for a vertical hyperbola is . The x-term appears first, so the given equation represents a horizontal hyperbola.

The equation for a horizontal hyperbola is . The equation for a vertical hyperbola is . Both include x- and y-terms combined using subtraction. The equation for an ellipse is . Because the given equation connects the x- and y-terms using addition rather than subtraction, it represents an ellipse rather than a hyperbola. If the equation took the form , it would represent a circle. If the equation took the form , it would represent a parabola.

The equation for a horizontal hyperbola is . The equation for a vertical hyperbola is . Both include x- and y-terms combined using subtraction. If the equation took the form (using addition rather than subtraction to combine the x- and y-terms), it would represent an ellipse. If the equation took the form , it would represent a circle. If the equation took the form , it would represent a parabola.

The equation for a horizontal hyperbola is . The equation for a vertical hyperbola is . In both, (h, v) is the center of the hyperbola. Hyperbolic inequalities use an inequality sign rather than an equals sign, but otherwise have the same form as hyperbolic equations. Because the two terms are combined using subtraction and the y-term appears first, this inequality represents a vertical hyperbola. To derive the center of a hyperbola from its equation or inequality, flip the sign of the constants that appear after the x and y in the equation or inequality. The constant following x is -1, so the x-coordinate of the center is 1. The constant following y is 2, so the y-coordinate of the center is -2.

The graph of the hyperbolic inequality appears as follows:

With vertices of (1, 1) and (1, -5), you can see that the midpoint between them is (1, -2).

The equation for a horizontal hyperbola is . The equation for a vertical hyperbola is . In both, (h, v) is the center of the hyperbola. Hyperbolic inequalities use an inequality sign rather than an equals sign, but otherwise have the same form as hyperbolic equations. Because the two terms are combined using subtraction and the x-term appears first, this inequality represents a horizontal hyperbola. To derive the center of a hyperbola from its equation or inequality, flip the sign of the constants that appear after the x and y in the equation or inequality. The constant following x is 3, so the x-coordinate of the center is -3. No constant follows y, so the y-coordinate of the center is 0.

The graph of the hyperbolic inequality appears as follows:

As you can see, the midpoint between the two vertices of (-6, 0) and (0, 0) is (-3, 0).

The equation for a horizontal hyperbola is . The equation for a vertical hyperbola is . In both, (h, v) is the center of the hyperbola. The graph shows a horizontal hyperbola, so in its corresponding equation the x-term must appear first. The center lies at (-2, -1), so x must be followed by the constant 2, and y must be followed by the constant 1. The graph shows a hyperbola rather than an ellipse, so the x- and y-terms must be combined using subtraction rather than addition.

The first thing we need to find for this hyperbola is the center. This is simply the point where and both equal , which is . Since the term is the positive one, the hyperbola opens horizontally, which means we need to look at the denominator of that term.

The denominator is which is , so our vertices are , or

and .

To determine which direction a hyperbola opens, first get the equation into standard form for a conic section:

This equation gives us a hyperbola when the coefficient in front of either the x-squared or the y-squared term (but not both!) is negative. In this problem, the coefficient in front of the x-squared term is positive, but the coefficient of the y-squared term is negative. Here are the rules for hyperbola directions:

• If the coefficient of the x-squared term is positive but the coefficient of the y-squared term is negative, this is a hyperbola that opens horizontally.
• If the coefficient of the x-squared term is negative but the coefficient of the y-squared term is positive, this is a hyperbola that opens vertically.

Thus, we have a graph of a horizontal hyperbola.

The standard form of a hyperbola is

or the similar form with a positive term and negative term. So to start out getting this equation in standard form, we must complete the square on the quadratics in and .

the coefficient of is , so completing the square we get

and similarly with we get

and so our starting expression can be written as

Dividing by on both sides we get the standard representation of the hyperbola,

We start by noticing that our hyperbola is given in the following form:

In order to determine the vertices of the hyperbola, we must first locate its center. Using the standard form given above, we know the center of the hyperbola occurs at the point (h,k), so for the equation given in the problem the center is at (2,-3). Now that we know the location of the hyperbola's center, our next step is to determine how far the vertices are from the center of the hyperbola. Looking at our equation, we can see it is in the form where the x term occurs first, which means the hyperbola opens left and right as opposed to up and down (which would be the case if the y term occurred first. Given this information, we know the vertices of the hyperbola are going to be a distance to the left and right of the center. The denominator of the x term in the hyperbolic equation is 16, which means is equal to 4, so the vertices of the hyperbola will be 4 units to the left and right of the center (2,-3), which gives us:
