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

Mathematics
1 answer:
professor190 [17]1 year ago
3 0

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

0.32 with the 2 repeating as a fraction
pashok25 [27]

Answer:

29/90

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the formula:

((DN x F) - NRP)/D

DN = Decimal Number

F = 10 if one repeating number, 100 if two repeating numbers, 1000 if three repeating numbers, etc.

NRP = Non-repeating part of decimal number.

D = 9 if one repeating number, 99 if two repeating numbers, 999 if three repeating numbers, etc.

((0.32 x 10) - 0.3)/9

= 2.9/9  = 29/90

An artist is hired to create an art display for the interior of a city building. The display is to span a total width of 10 yd .
lesya692 [45]

Answer:

8 portraits are going to be used in the display.

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem can be solved as a rule of three problem.

Each yd has 36 inches.

The display is to span a total width of 10 yd. So it is a total width of 360 inches.

Each portrait has a width of 45 in. How many portraits can there be?

1 portrait - 45 in

x portraits - 360 in

45x = 360

x = 8

8 portraits are going to be used in the display.
