Q02. Compare x*y = 1 with (x/a)^2 - (y/b)^2 = 1
Diagram of x*y = 1
Vertex U at xu = -1 and yu = -1 or U(-1, -1)
Vertex V at xv = +1 and yv = +1 or V(+1, +1)
Center C(0, 0)
Principal axis is y = x
CU = Sqr(xu^2 + yu^2) = Sqr(2)
Corresponding hyperbola if rotate 45 degrees
(x/Sqr(2))^2 - (y/Sqr(2))^2 = 1
Hence semi-axese : a = Sqr(2) and b = Sqr(2)
Hence CF = f = Sqr(a^2 + b^2) = 2
Hence Focus F at (-Sqr(2), -Sqr(2))
D*e = (b^2)/a = Sqr(2) and e = f/a = Sqr(2)
Hence D = 1
Hyperbola : (x/Sqr(2))^2 - (y/Sqr(2))^2 = 1
Principal axis y = 0
a = Sqr(2) and b = Sqr(2)
Center at (0, 0)
Vertex U at (-Sqr(2), 0)
Focal length f = Sqr(a^2 + b^2) = 2
Focus F at (-2, 0)
D*e = (b^2)/a = Sqr(2)
e = f/a = Sqr(2)
Hence D = 1 = distance from focus F to directrix
Conclusion
x*y = 1 and (x/Sqr(2))^2 - (y/Sqr(2))^2 = 1 are congruent
The difference is the principal axese
For (x/a)^2 - (y/b)^2 = 1, principal axis is y = 0
For x*y = 1, principal axis is y = x

Q03. Rotate x*y = 1 with angle 45 degrees
Question : Rotate x*y = 1 45 degrees
1. Find semi-axese
2. Find focal length
3. Find corrdinates of foci
Rotation coordinates (u, v) to (x, y)
Rotation matrix
| +cos(A) +sin(A) |
| -sin(A) +cos(A) |
(u, v) to (x, y)
u = +x*cos(A) + y*sin(A)
v = -x*sin(A) + y*cos(A)
Rotation coordinate x and y to coordiante to u and v
Rotation matrix
| +cos(A) -sin(A) |
| +sin(A) +cos(A) |
(x, y) to (u, v)
x = +u*cos(A) + v*sin(A)
y = -u*sin(A) + v*cos(A)
Example : Change x*y = 1 to u and v coordiante by rotating 45 degrees
x = +u*cos(A) - v*sin(A)
y = +u*sin(A) + v*cos(A)
Hence x*y = 1
(+u*cos(A) - v*sin(A))*(+u*sin(A) + v*cos(A)) = 1
Since cos(45) = Sqr(2)/2 and sin(45) = Sqr(2)/2
Hence (Sqr(2)*u/2 - Sqr(2)*v/2)*(Sqr(2)*u/2 + Sqr(2)*v/2) = 1
Since (x - y)*(x + y) = x^2 - y^2
Hence (1/2)*(u^2 - v^2) = 1
Hence (u/Sqr(2))^2 - (v/Sqr(2))^2 = 1
Hence a = b = Sqr(2)
Hence f = Sqr(a^2 + b^2) = 2
Example : Find coordinates of foci of x*y = 1
Vertices of (u/Sqr(2))^2 - (v/Sqr(2))^2 = 1
(-Sqr(2), -Sqr(2)) and (Sqr(2), Sqr(2)) in UOV coordinates
Vertices of x*y = 1
(-1, 1) and (1, 1) in XOY coordinates
Foci of (u/Sqr(2))^2 - (v/Sqr(2))^2 = 1
Since f = Sqr(a^2 + b^2) = 2
Hence coordinates of foci are (-2, -2) and (2, 2) in UOV coordinates
Foci of x*y = 1 in XOY coordinates
From diagram CF = 2
Hence xf = 2*cos(1.25*pi) = -Sqr(2) and yf = 2*sin(1.25*pi) = -Sqr(2)
Hence coordinates of focus (-Sqr(2), -Sqr(2)) and (Sqr(2), Sqr(2))

Q04. Eliminate x*y term
Question
Equation : F(x,y) = A*x^2 + B*x*y + C*y^2 + D*x + E*y + F = 0
Rotation : Transform x and y to u and v by roration angle t
Rotation matrix
(1) x = u*cos(t) - v*sin(t)
(2) y = u*sin(t) + v*cos(t)
Equation after rotation
Equation : A'*u^2 + B'*u*v + C'*v^2 + D'*u + E'*v + F' = 0
Coefficients
A' = A*cos(t)^2 + B*cos(t)*sin(t) + C*sin(t)^2
B' = (C - A)*sin(2*t) + B*cos(2*t)
C' = A*sin(t)^2 - B*cos(t)*sin(t) + C*cos(t)^2
D' = +D*cos(t) + E*sin(t)
E' = -D*sin(t) + E*cos(t)
F' = F Eliminate u*v term
Let B'=0.
(C - A)*sin(2*t) + B*cos(2*t)=0
Hence tan(2*t)=B/(A - C)
Angle t = arctan(B/(A - C))/2
Find semi-axis and focal length by completing the square
Chnage A'*u^2 + C'*v^2 + D'*u + E'*v + F' = 0 to
Using completing square : ((u - h)/a)^2 + ((v - k)/b)^2 = 1
Since no u*v we can use completing square nethod
Hence we find h and k
We can also find a and b
We can also find vertice and focal length f

Q05. Using eliminate method for x*y = 1
Change x*y = 1 to (x/a)^2 - (y/b)^2 = 1
A = 0, B = 1, C = 0, D = 0, E = 0 and F = -1
Find A', B', ....
Rotate angle t = arctan(1/(0 - 0)/2 = 45 degree
A'
= A*cos(t)^2 + B*cos(t)*sin(t) - C*sin(t)^2
= 0 + 1*cos(45)*sin(45) - 0
= 1/2
B'
= (C - A)*sin(2*t) + B*cos(2*t)
= 0
C'
= A*sin(t)^2 - B*cos(t)*sin(t) + C*cos(t)^2
= 0 - 1*cos(45)*sin(45) - 0
= -1/2
D' = +D*cos(45) + E*sin(45) = 0
E' = -D*sin(45) + E*cos(45) = 0
F' = F = -1
Hence equation becomes : (1/2)*u^2 - (1/2)*v^2 - 1 = 0
Hence (u/Sqr(2))^2 - (v/Sqr(2))^2 = 1
That is a = Sqr(2) and b = Sqr(2)
That is f = Sqr(a^2 + b^2)) = 2

Q06. Equation of directrix of Hyperbola x*y = 1
Question
Find equation of directrix
Find equation of directix x*y = 1
Equation directrix is y = -x + c
From Diagram we see that
CF = CQ + QF
QF = D = 1 is the distance from F to directrix
CQ = CF - QF = 2 - 1
Find c using right triangle CQP
Let P be intersection of directrix with y-axis
Since angle CQP = 90 and angle CPQ = 45 degrees
Hence QP = CQ = 1.2929
Hence CP = Sqr(PQ^2 + CQ^2)
= Sqr(2*(1.2929)^2)
= Sqr(3.34318)
= 1.828436
Hence c = -1.828436
Hence y = - x - 1.828436
2nd method to find c : Using coordinate of Q (-0.9142, -0.9142)
Since CQ = 1.2929
Hence xq^2 + yq^2 = CQ^2
Since xq = yq
Hence xq = -0.9142 and yq = -0.9142
Substitute xq, yq into y = -x + c
Hence c = -18284

Q07. Find focal length of (x + 1)*(y - 2) = 1
Use translation
Translate origin of x*y = 1 to (-1, 2)
We have (x + 1)*(y - 2) = 1
Hence (x + 1)*(y - 2) = 1 is congruent to x*y = 1
It is congruent with (x/Sqr(2))^2 - (y/Sqr(2))^2 = 1
Hence focal length f = Sqr(a^2 + b^2) = 2
