Hi all.

I'm asked to find the center, vertices, foci, and asymptotes of the following equations. I'm having a lot of difficulty doing this, and would greatly appreciate help solving any of the following (even just showing me how you solved one would be awesome):

(x^2)/9 - (y^2)/25 = 1

(y^2)/9 - (x^2)/1 = 1

(x^2)/36 - (y^2)/4 = 1

((x+3)^2))/144 - ((y-2)^2))/25 = 1
 
What formula(s) did they give you? What have you tried? Where are you stuck?

Please be complete. Thank you! :D

Eliz.
