Practice Questions

Test your understanding with targeted questions related to the topic.

Question 1

Easy

Write the standard equation for a hyperbola centered at the origin with vertices (3, 0) and (-3, 0).

πŸ’‘ Hint: Remember, the distance to the vertices is $a = 3$, so $a^2 = 9$.

Question 2

Easy

What are the asymptotes of a hyperbola represented by $\frac{x^2}{16} - \frac{y^2}{25} = 1$?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Use $y = \\pm \\frac{b}{a}x$ and identify $b$ and $a$ from the equation.

Question 1

What is the standard equation for a hyperbola with the transverse axis along the x-axis?

  • $\\frac{x^2}{a^2} + \\frac{y^2}{b^2} = 1$
  • $\\frac{x^2}{a^2} - \\frac{y^2}{b^2} = 1$
  • $\\frac{y^2}{a^2} - \\frac{x^2}{b^2} = 1$

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider the orientation of the hyperbola.

Question 2

Is it true that the vertices of a hyperbola lie on the transverse axis?

  • True
  • False

πŸ’‘ Hint: Recall the geometric definition of a hyperbola.
