<|end|><|start|>user<|message|>Problem: The equation $\frac{x^{2}}{m+2} + \frac{y^{2}}{m-2} = 1$ represents a hyperbola. The range of values for $m$ is ______.↵↵
Solution:<|end|><|start|>assistant<|channel|>analysis<|message|>We need to find range of m such that equation represents a hyperbola. The equation is x^2/(m+2) + y^2/(m-2)=1. For hyperbola, denominators must have opposite signs: one positive, one negative. Also denominators cannot be zero. So m+2 0 => m -2. m-2 0 => m 2. Additionally, the equation must have real axes: the denominators' product must be negative: (m+2)(m-2) < 0. Solve inequality: (m+2)(m-2) < 0. This is a quadratic with roots -2, 2, opens upward. So negative between roots: -2 < m < 2. But also exclude m= -2,2. So the range: (-2, 2). However check if m between -2 and 2 but not inclusive. But also consider that if m+2>0 and m-2<0 or vice versa. In (-2,2), m+2>0? For m > -2, yes. For m-2<0 for m<2. So indeed denominator signs opposite. So hyperbola.↵↵
But also we need to ensure that the equation indeed represents a hyperbola, not ellipse or parabola. For ellipse, denominators same sign, both >0 or both <0. For parabola cannot be represented. So hyperbola condition is opposite signs. So the range is -2 < m < 2.↵↵
But check if m can be less than -2 or greater than 2? Then both denominators negative? Let's see: m > 2 => m+2>0, m-2>0 => both positive => ellipse. m < -2 => m+2<0, m-2<0 => both negative => also ellipse (but with negative denominators, the equation would be negative? Actually if both denominators negative, the left side is negative sum of two negative fractions (since x^2,y^20). But that sum can't equal 1. Wait: x^2/(negative) is negative. So sum of two negatives cannot equal positive 1. So no real points. So not a conic. So only hyperbola for -2<m<2.↵↵
Thus answer: (-2,2). Provide explanation.↵↵
But maybe they want m(-2,2). Probably.↵↵
Let's craft final answer: The hyperbola condition requires denominators of opposite signs and non-zero. Therefore m(-2,2). Provide reasoning.↵↵
We should mention that m cannot be equal to -2 or 2. So answer: -2 < m < 2.<|end|><|start|>assistant<|channel|>final<|message|>For the curve ↵↵
\[↵
\frac{x^{2}}{m+2}+\frac{y^{2}}{m-2}=1
\]↵↵
to be a hyperbola, the two denominators must have **opposite signs** (so that one term is positive and the other negative).
Additionally, neither denominator can be zero.↵↵
---↵↵
### 1. Denominator restrictions↵↵
\[↵
\begin{cases}↵
m+2 \neq 0 \;\;\Longrightarrow\;\; m\neq -2,\\[2pt]↵
m-2 \neq 0 \;\;\Longrightarrow\;\; m\neq 2.↵
\end{cases}↵
\]↵↵
---↵↵
### 2. Opposite signs↵↵
We need ↵↵
\[↵
(m+2)(m-2) < 0 .↵
\]↵↵
Solve the quadratic inequality:↵↵
\[↵
(m+2)(m-2) = m^{2}-4 < 0
\]↵↵
\[↵
\Longrightarrow\; m^{2} < 4 \;\Longrightarrow\; -2 < m < 2 .↵
\]↵↵
---↵↵
### 3. Result↵↵
The values of \(m\) that satisfy both conditions are↵↵
\[↵
\boxed{\, -2 < m < 2 \,}↵
\]↵↵
For \(m\) in this interval the denominators have opposite signs, giving a real hyperbola.
If \(m>2\) or \(m<-2\), the denominators have the same sign (both positive or both negative), yielding an ellipse or no real points.
At \(m=\pm2\) the equation degenerates (denominator zero).<|return|>
