Answer

(a) Center: $C(0,0)$ Vertices: $V(±4,0)$ Foci: $F(±2\sqrt {6},0)$ Asymptotes: $y=±\frac{1}{\sqrt 2}x$ (b)

Work Step by Step

Hyperbola with center at $(h,k)$ (horizontal transverse axis): $\frac{(x-h)^2}{a^2}-\frac{(y-k)^2}{b^2}=1$ $x^2-2y^2=16$ $\frac{x^2}{16}-\frac{y^2}{8}=1$ $\frac{(x-0)^2}{4^2}-\frac{(y-0)^2}{(2\sqrt 2)^2}=1$ $h=0$ $k=0$ Center: $C(0,0)$ $a=4$ $b=2\sqrt 2$ $c^2=a^2+b^2=4^2+(2\sqrt 2)^2=16+8=24$ $c=2\sqrt {6}$ Vertices: $V(±a,0)=V(±4,0)$ Foci: $F(±c,0)=F(±2\sqrt {6},0)$ Asymptotes: $y=±\frac{b}{a}x=±\frac{2\sqrt 2}{4}x=±\frac{1}{\sqrt 2}x$
