Work Step by Step

We are given the hyperbola: $4x^2-y^2+8x+6y+11=0$ Bring the equation to the standard form: $(4x^2+8x+4)-(y^2-6y+9)-4+9+11=0$ $4(x^2+2x+1)-(y^2-6y+9)+16=0$ $(y-3)^2-4(x+1)^2=16$ $\dfrac{(y-3)^2}{16}-\dfrac{4(x+1)^2}{16}=1$ $\dfrac{(y-3)^2}{16}-\dfrac{(x+1)^2}{4}=1$ The equation is in the form: $\dfrac{(y-k)^2}{a^2}-\dfrac{(x-h)^2}{b^2}=1$ The transverse axis is parallel to the $y$-axis. Determine $h,k,a,b,c$: $h=-1$ $k=3$ $a^2=16\Rightarrow a=\sqrt {16}=4$ $b^2=4\Rightarrow b=\sqrt {4}=2$ $c^2=a^2+b^2$ $c^2=16+4$ $c^2=20$ $c=\sqrt{20}$ $c=2\sqrt 5$ The centre of the hyperbola is: $(h,k)=(-1,3)$ Determine the coordinates of the vertices: $(h,k-a)=(-1,3-4)=(-1,-1)$ $(h,k+a)=(-1,3+4)=(-1,7)$ Determine the coordinates of the foci: $(h,k-c)=(-1,3-2\sqrt 5)$ $(h,k+c)=(-1,3+2\sqrt 5)$ Determine the asymptotes: $y-k=\pm\dfrac{a}{b}(x-h)$ $y-3=\pm\dfrac{4}{2}(x+1)$ $y-3=\pm 2(x+1)$ Graph the hyperbola:
