Given:
Hyperbola
a=55,000 km and c=81,000 km
hyperbola is the origin and the
transverse axis is horizontal
Required:
Equation of the path of a
satellite
Solution:
Formula for hyperbola, (x-h)2/a2
– (x-k)2/b2 = 1
At origin, (h, k) = (0, 0)
(x-0)2/(55000)2 – (x-0)2/(81000)2
= 1
<span>X2/12100 – y2/26244 = 250000</span>
So (positive integer)-x-y can be negative
so to get a negative number as your result/answer, x+y must be greater than (positve integer) so for example
lets say (positive integer)=8
x+y must be greater than 8 to make the equation negative so
example
x=5
y=4
x+y=9
8-9=-1
