Math Problem Statement

What is the general shape of the equation xy = k and what region does 1 < |z - i| + |z + i| < √2 represent geometrically?

Solution

Let’s analyze the two mathematical problems you provided in the images.


First Image Analysis

The problem is about the general form of the equation xy=kxy = k.
This describes a rectangular hyperbola, where xx and yy are variables, and kk is a constant.

  • Solution Description:
    The graph of xy=kxy = k is symmetric about the axes. For positive kk, the hyperbola is in the first and third quadrants. For negative kk, the hyperbola is in the second and fourth quadrants.

  • General Notes:
    The rectangular hyperbola is given by:
    y=kx,y = \frac{k}{x},
    where k0k \neq 0.
    It asymptotically approaches the ( x \
