Mid Year Exam

A hyperbola has equation \({{y}^{2}}+2dy-{{x}^{2}}+2x=2-{{d}^{2}}\), where \(d\) is a real constant.

  1. Show that the equation of the hyperbola can be expressed as
    \({{\left( y+d \right)}^{2}}-{{\left( x-1 \right)}^{2}}=1\).[2]
  2. It is given that one of the asymptotes for the hyperbola has equation \(y=x-8\). Find the value of \(d\) and hence write down the equation of the other asymptote.[5]
