Once again I am sorry for not getting up this post sooner. No excuses.. I forgot. On Friday we learned about hyperbola's. Mr. Max was teaching us the standard equations for hyperbolas and what exactly they look like.
Above we examined how to simplify the equations in order to find the values of A and B. Also known as the major axis and the minor axis. Once given the values of A and B you can also input the Domain and Range.
As Mr. Max said... some people may be able to just "eyeball" the graph of this hyperbola and be able to figure out what the equation for the asymptotes are. If you are having trouble doing this just remember RISE/RUN, and don't forget to give the equation the sign of "+" or "-" .
Above is how to find the equation of the asymptote mathematically. Also given below are the Standard Forms of the equations of hyperbolas. These will help you to know when the hyperbola opens up or down. 
Remember that 49 mental math objectives are due this Friday.
