How do you graph #y^2/4-x^2/2=1# and identify the foci and asympototes?
1 Answer
Hyperbola with transverse axis vertical
Explanation:
Given:
This is a hyperbola (negative sign) with transverse axis vertical since the larger denominator is below the

To graph manually:
Create a dashed box
and
Place points at the vertices and foci locations. Sketch curve between the asymptotes:
