Answer

$${\text{Graph}}\left( {\text{c}} \right)$$

Work Step by Step

$$\eqalign{ & 4{x^2} - {y^2} = 4 \cr & {\text{Divide both sides of the equation by 4}} \cr & \frac{{4{x^2}}}{4} - \frac{{{y^2}}}{4} = \frac{4}{4} \cr & {x^2} - \frac{{{y^2}}}{4} = 1 \cr & {\text{This equation is in standard form}} \cr & \frac{{{x^2}}}{{{a^2}}} - \frac{{{y^2}}}{{{b^2}}} = 1 \cr & {\text{Therefore,}} \cr & {x^2} - \frac{{{y^2}}}{4} = 1 \Rightarrow {x^2} - \frac{{{y^2}}}{{{2^2}}} = 1 \to a = 1,{\text{ }}b = 2 \cr & {\text{Characteristics of the hyperbola }} \cr & {\text{Orientation}}:{\text{ Horizontal transverse axis}} \cr & {\text{Center}}\left( {0,0} \right) \cr & {\text{Vertices}}\left( { - a,0} \right){\text{ and }}\left( {a,0} \right) \cr & {\text{Vertices}}\left( { - 1,0} \right){\text{ and }}\left( {1,0} \right) \cr & {\text{Graph}}\left( {\text{c}} \right) \cr} $$
