1. Express the equation 𝒙 𝟐 − 𝟐𝒚 𝟐 − 𝟐𝒙 − 𝟖𝒚 − 𝟐𝟕 = 𝟎 of the hyperbola
in standard form and solve for the following:
a. Center
b. Vertices
c. Foci
d. Equation of Transverse Axis
e. Length of the Transverse Axis
f. Equation of Conjugate Axis
g. Length of the Conjugate Axis

Solution: In order to write the equation in standard form, consider first
which coefficient (between x2 and y2) has a negative value then arrange
them in such a way that the first term must be a positive value.

First Step: Arrange the order by grouping like variables
𝒙 𝟐
− 𝟐𝒙 − 𝟐𝒚 𝟐
− 𝟖𝒚 = 𝟐𝟕
𝒙 𝟐
− 𝟐𝒙 − 𝟐𝒚 𝟐
− 𝟖𝒚 = 𝟐𝟕
Second Step: Factor out the coefficient
(𝒙 𝟐
−𝟐𝒙) − 𝟐(𝒚 𝟐
+ 𝟒𝒚) = 𝟐𝟕
(𝒙 𝟐
−𝟐𝒙) − 𝟐(𝒚 𝟐
+ 𝟒𝒚) = 𝟐𝟕
Third Step: Perform completing the square process
(𝒙 𝟐
−𝟐𝒙 + 𝟏) − 𝟐(𝒚 𝟐
+ 𝟒𝒚 + 𝟒) = 𝟐𝟕 + 𝟏 − 𝟖
(𝒙 𝟐
−𝟐𝒙 + 𝟏) − 𝟐(𝒚 𝟐
+ 𝟒𝒚 + 𝟒) = 𝟐𝟕 + 𝟏 − 𝟖
Fourth Step: Factor the trinomial and simplify the constant

Write the equation of the hyperbola in standard and general

Write the equation of the hyperbola in standard and general
form that satisfies the given conditions. The center is at (7, -2), a
vertex is at (2, -2) and an endpoint of a conjugate axis is at (7, -6).
Solution: In order to write the equation, you only need the value for the
center, a and b. Then determine where the hyperbola is facing and the
appropriate standard form to be used.
The center (h, k) = (7, -2) is midway between the vertices.
The distance between the vertex and the center is |7-5|=5, hence a = 5.
The distance between the endpoint of the conjugate axis and the center is|-6 – (-2)|= 4, hence, b= 4. If a = 5 and b
= 4, then, 𝑐 = 𝑎2 + 𝑏2 = 52 + 42 = 41
The center and a vertex are both contained on the focal axis. Since they have the same y -coordinate, the focal axis
is horizontal. Therefor the, equation of the ellipse is of the form

Step 2: Simplify the result
𝟏𝟔(𝒙 − 𝟕) 𝟐
−𝟐𝟓 𝒚 + 𝟐 𝟐
= 𝟒𝟎𝟎
𝟏𝟔(𝒙 − 𝟕) 𝟐
−𝟐𝟓 𝒚 + 𝟐 𝟐
= 𝟒𝟎𝟎
Step 3:Expand the binomial (you may use foil method)
𝟏𝟔 𝒙 𝟐
− 𝟏𝟒𝒙 + 𝟒𝟗 − 𝟐𝟓 𝒚 𝟐
+ 𝟒𝒚 + 𝟒 = 𝟒𝟎𝟎
𝟏𝟔 𝒙 𝟐
− 𝟏𝟒𝒙 + 𝟒𝟗 − 𝟐𝟓 𝒚 𝟐
+ 𝟒𝒚 + 𝟒 = 𝟒𝟎𝟎
Step 4:Distribute the multiplier to the trinomial
𝟏𝟔𝒙 𝟐
− 𝟐𝟐𝟒𝒙 + 𝟕𝟖𝟒 − 𝟐𝟓𝒚 𝟐
− 𝟏𝟎𝟎𝒚 − 𝟏𝟎𝟎 − 𝟒𝟎𝟎 = 𝟎
𝟏𝟔𝒙 𝟐
− 𝟐𝟐𝟒𝒙 + 𝟕𝟖𝟒 − 𝟐𝟓𝒚 𝟐
− 𝟏𝟎𝟎𝒚 − 𝟏𝟎𝟎 − 𝟒𝟎𝟎 = 𝟎
Step 5:Combine the constant then arrange it in order
𝟏𝟔𝒙 𝟐
− 𝟐𝟓𝒚 𝟐
− 𝟐𝟐𝟒𝒙 − 𝟏𝟎𝟎𝒚 + 𝟐𝟖𝟒 = 𝟎
The standard form is

Solution: The closest point of these houses are the vertices of
the hyperbola. In order to determine their distances, we need
to write the equation in standard form.
