This document discusses how to graph, recognize, and write the equation of a hyperbola. It explains that a hyperbola is formed when the coefficients of x2 and y2 have different signs. It also notes that hyperbolas only intersect one set of axes and that the signs of the coefficients determine which axis the intercepts lie on. The document provides examples of writing equations of hyperbolas in standard form and finding the asymptotes and transverse axis to graph hyperbolas.

3. Aim: How do we graph, recognize, and write the equation of a hyperbola? MB43 10/22/08 Lomas Hyperbola's only have one set of intersects, because they only touch one set of axes We can tell which axis the intercepts are on by looking at the signs of p and q (or a 2 and b 2 ). Whichever one has the same sign as s will have the intercepts. HW: Read 528-532 Do 532-3 #3-6,8
