Solution:
The standard equation of a hyperbola is expressed as

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:

The asymptote of n hyperbola is expressed as

Given that the asymptotes are

This implies that

To evaluate the value of h and k,
Take the cross product, then normalize the result.

This has norm

and so a unit vector orthogonal to both given vectors is

An equally correct answer would be the negative of this vector, since

.
One laptop costs 32,750.
He bought 5 laptops.
So, 5 x 32,750 = 163,750.
Let d = cost of one desktop.
163,750 + d = 229,600.
Solve for d to find your answer.
Answer:
signs of the constants in the binomial factors are negative
Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming the first term (a) is positive, the fact that c is negative means the constants in the binomial factors have the same sign. The negative b means that sign is negative.
2x^2 -7x +6 = (x -2)(2x -3)
__
<em>Further comment</em>
c is the product of the constants in the binomial factors so will be positive when both those constants have the same sign.
b is the sum of the constants in the binomial factors. If both factors have the same sign (c > 0), then those constants have the same sign as b.
In this analysis, "a" is assumed to be positive. If it is not, then the same analysis can be done after reversing all of the signs.
