Write the standard equation for the hyperbola with the following conditions: vertices: (-2, -3) and (6, -3) foci: (-4, -3) and (
8, -3)
1 answer:
Hello,
Vertices are on a line parallele at ox (y=-3)
The hyperbola is horizontal.
Equation is (x-h)²/a²- (y-k)²/b²=1
Center =middle of the vertices=((-2+6)/2,-3)=(2,-3)
(h+a,k) = (6,-3)
(h-a,k)=(-2,-3)
==>k=-3 and 2h=4 ==>h=2
==>a=6-h=6-2=4 (semi-transverse axis)
Foci: (h+c,k) ,(h-c,k)
h=2 ==>c=8-2=6
c²=a²+b²==>b²=36-4²=20

Question 16
Given that two golfers completed one round of golf.
It is stated that the first golfer had a score of +6 and the second golfer had a score of -3.
- Let suppose 'x' be the number of shots the first golfer took.
It is clear that the first golfer is 6 over par, while the second golfer is under 3.
Thus, the equation becomes:
adding -3 to both sides
simplify
Thus, the second golfer has taken 9 more shorts.
Question 17
When we talk about credit, it means:
Credit = +
When we talk about debt, it means:
Debit = -
Thus,
Credit = +84
Debt = -29
Balance = 84 + (-29)
= 84 - 29
= 55
Thus, the balance is: 55
