Write a equation of a hyperbola given the foci and the asymptotes

Mathematics

Solution:

The standard equation of a hyperbola is expressed as

\begin{gathered} \frac{(x-h)^2}{a^2}-\frac{(y-k)^2}{b^2}=1\text{ \lparen parallel to the x-axis\rparen} \\ \frac{(y-k)^2}{a^2}-\frac{(x-h)^2}{b^2}=1\text{ \lparen parallel to the y-axis\rparen} \end{gathered}

Given that the hyperbola has its foci at (0,-15) and (0, 15), this implies that the hyperbola is parallel to the y-axis.

Thus, the equation will be expressed in the form:

\frac{(y-k)^2}{a^2}-\frac{(x-h)^2}{b^2}=1\text{ ----equation 1}

The asymptote of n hyperbola is expressed as

y=\pm\frac{a}{b}(x-h)+k

Given that the asymptotes are

y=\frac{3}{4}x\text{ and y=-}\frac{3}{4}x

This implies that

a=3,\text{ and b=4}

To evaluate the value of h and k,

undefined

PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS QUESTION!!!!!
prohojiy [21]

Answer:

we have, 1953125=5⁹, so it cannot be a perfect square. If the last digit of a given number is 5, then the last three digits must be perfect squares, 025 or 225 or 625. Otherwise, that number cannot be a perfect square. And as 125 is not a perfect square, so no number ending with 125 can be a perfect square

Answer: 2

Step-by-step explanation:

(x1,y1) = (-1,0)

(x2,y2) = (3,8)

m = (8–0)/(3-(-1))

m = 8/(3+1)

m = 8/4

m = 2

xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

you have to use trigonometric functions

cos 30 = adj. /hyp.

cos 30 = 12 / y

y = 12/cos 30 ≅13.86

tan 30 = opp./adj

tan30 = x / 12

x = 12 tan30 ≅6.93
