Answer

$$\eqalign{ & {\text{Center }}\left( {0,0} \right) \cr & {\text{Vertices}}:\left( { \pm 8,0} \right) \cr & {\text{Foci: }}\left( { \pm 4\sqrt 5 ,0} \right) \cr & {\text{Asymptotes: }}y = \pm x \cr & {\text{domain: }}\left( { - \infty , - 8} \right] \cup \left[ {8,\infty } \right) \cr & {\text{range: }}\left( { - \infty , + \infty } \right) \cr} $$

Work Step by Step

$$\eqalign{ & {x^2} - 4{y^2} = 64 \cr & {\text{Divide both sides of the equation by 64}} \cr & \frac{{{x^2}}}{{64}} - \frac{{{y^2}}}{{16}} = 1 \cr & {\text{The equation is written in the form }}\frac{{{x^2}}}{{{a^2}}} - \frac{{{y^2}}}{{{b^2}}} = 1 \cr & \frac{{{x^2}}}{{64}} - \frac{{{y^2}}}{{16}} = 1,{\text{ then }}a = 8,\,\,b = 4 \cr & c = \sqrt {{a^2} + {b^2}} = \sqrt {64 + 16} = 4\sqrt 5 \cr & \cr & {\text{Therefore,}} \cr & {\text{Center }}\left( {0,0} \right) \cr & {\text{Vertices: }}\left( { \pm a,0} \right):\left( { \pm 8,0} \right) \cr & {\text{Foci: }}\left( { \pm c,0} \right):\left( { \pm 4\sqrt 5 ,0} \right) \cr & {\text{Asymptotes: }}y = \pm \frac{b}{a}x \cr & {\text{Asymptotes: }}y = \pm \frac{1}{2}x \cr & {\text{The domain of the hyperbola is }}\left( { - \infty ,a} \right] \cup \left[ {a,\infty } \right) \cr & {\text{domain: }}\left( { - \infty , - 8} \right] \cup \left[ {8,\infty } \right) \cr & {\text{The range of the hyperbola is }}\left( { - \infty , + \infty } \right) \cr & \cr & {\text{Graph}} \cr} $$
