question 24

Multiple Choice

Convert the equation to the standard form for a hyperbola by completing the square.
- $$4 y ^ { 2 } - 25 x ^ { 2 } + 8 y - 50 x - 121 = 0$$

• A) \(\frac { ( y - 1 ) ^ { 2 } } { 25 } - \frac { ( x - 1 ) ^ { 2 } } { 4 } = 1\)
• B) \(\frac { ( y + 1 ) ^ { 2 } } { 25 } - \frac { ( x + 1 ) ^ { 2 } } { 4 } = 1\)
• C) \(\frac { ( y + 1 ) ^ { 2 } } { 4 } - \frac { ( x + 1 ) ^ { 2 } } { 25 } = 1\)
• D) \(\frac { ( \mathrm { x } - 1 ) ^ { 2 } } { 4 } - \frac { ( \mathrm { y } - 1 ) ^ { 2 } } { 25 } = 1\)
