Given equation : y² – x² = 1

Compare equation with standard from ( ) and write the coefficients.

Center (0 , 0) , a = 1 , b = 1

Vertices at (0 , ±a) = (0 , ± 1) = (0 , 1) , (0 , -1)

 

To find the asymptotes use formula : y = ±(b/a)x

⇒  y = ±(1/1)x   ⇒  y = ±x.

So asymptotes are   y = x  ;  y = -x

⇒  (y – x) = 0  ;  (y + x) = 0

The graphs of (y – x) = 0 and (y + x) = 0 are asymptotes.

To get the corner points of the fundamental rectangle, substitute y coordinate values of vertices in asymptotes.

Substitute y= 1 in the equation (y – x) = 0  ⇒  1-x = 0  ⇒ x = 1.Hence Corner point is (1,1).

Substitute y= 1 in the equation (y + x) = 0  ⇒  1+x = 0  ⇒ x = -1. Hence Corner point is (-1,1).

Substitute y= -1 in the equation (y – x) = 0  ⇒  -1-x = 0  ⇒ x = -1. Hence Corner point is (-1,-1).

Substitute y= -1 in the equation (y + x) = 0  ⇒  -1+x = 0  ⇒ x = 1. Hence Corner point is (1,-1).

The corner points of the fundamental rectangle are (1,1) , (-1,1) , (-1,-1) , (1,-1).

To get the x-intercepts of hyperbole, substitute y =0  in given hyperbola equation y² – x² = 1.

0² – x² = 1    ⇒    x² = –1.

Square root of the negative values gives no real values.

x-intercepts does not exist.

 

To get the y-intercepts of hyperbole, substitute x =0  in given hyperbola equation y² – x² = 1.

y² – 0² = 1    ⇒    y² = 1  ⇒    y = ±1.

So  y-intercepts are (0,1) , (0,-1) .

Given hyperbola equation y² – x² = 1 has only y-intercepts. So this is a vertical hyperbola.



Solution : Given equation is vertical hyperbola equation and the points where the fundamental rectangle intersects the y-axis, (0,1) , (0,-1) are the vertices of the hyperbola.

y² – x² =1

Substitute formula : a²-b² = (a+b)(a-b)

(y – x )( y + x) = 1

It can be factored as (y – x )( y + x) = 1.
