ACCESS - Hyperbola 1
This is the graph of the hyperbola with the equation (x-h)²/a² - (y-k)²/b² = 1.
1. What happens to the hyperbola as h gets larger? Smaller? What effect does this have on the vertices and the focus points? The asymptotes?
2. What happens to the hyperbola as k gets larger? Smaller? What effect does this have on the vertices and the focus points? The asymptotes?
3. What happens to the hyperbola as a gets larger? Smaller? What effect does this have on the vertices and the focus points? The asymptotes?
4. What happens to the hyperbola as b gets larger? Smaller? What effect does this have on the vertices and the focus points? The asymptotes?
