Work Step by Step

We are given the hyperbola: $4x^2-y^2+32x+6y+39=0$ Bring the equation to the standard form: $(4x^2+32x+64)-(y^2-6y+9)-64+9+39=0$ $4(x^2+8x+16)-(y-3)^2-16=0$ $4(x+4)^2-(y-3)^2=16$ $\dfrac{4(x+4)^2}{16}-\dfrac{(y-3)^2}{16}=1$ $\dfrac{(x+4)^2}{4}-\dfrac{(y-3)^2}{16}=1$ The standard form of the equation is: $\dfrac{(x-h)^2}{a^2}-\dfrac{(y-k)^2}{b^2}=1$ The transverse axis is parallel to the $x$-axis. Determine $h,k,a,b,c$: $h=-4$ $k=3$ $a^2=4\Rightarrow a=\sqrt 4=2$ $b^2=16\Rightarrow b=\sqrt {16}=4$ $c^2=a^2+b^2$ $c^2=4+16$ $c^2=20$ $c=\sqrt{20}=2\sqrt 5$ The centre of the hyperbola is: $(h,k)=(-4,3)$ Determine the coordinates of the vertices: $(h-a,k)=(-4-2,3)=(-6,3)$ $(h+a,k)=(-4+2,3)=(-2,3)$ Determine the coordinates of the foci: $(h-c,k)=(-4-2\sqrt{5},3)$ $(h+c,k)=(-4+2\sqrt{5},3)$ Determine the asymptotes: $y-k=\pm\dfrac{b}{a}(x-h)$ $y-3=\pm\dfrac{4}{2}(x+4)$ $y-3=\pm 2(x+4)$ Graph the hyperbola:
