Answer: 24
A hyperbola is the locus of a point in a plane which moves in the plane in such a way that the ratio of its distance from a fixed point in the same plane to its distance from a fixed line is always constant, which is always greater than unity.
the fixed point is called the focus and the fixed line is directrix and the ratio is the eccentricity.
The general equation for the vertical hyperbola is
[ (y-k)^2 / a^2 ] – [ (x-h)^2 / b^2 ] = 1
The conjugate axis of the vertical hyperbola is y = k
Length of the conjugate axis = 2b
According to the question k = 2, h = -1, a = 4, b = 12
Length of the conjugate axis = 2b = 2 * 12 = 24

Is skipped a number and that's not good
<h2>
Answer: a = ¹/₂ (4 + b)</h2>
<h3>
Step-by-step explanation:</h3>
To solve for 'a' we have to make it the subject of the equation. Since there are two unknowns ('a' & 'b'), we won't get a numerical value of 'a', but an expression in terms of the second unknown 'b'.
Since 2a - b = 4 <em> [add 'b' to both sides]</em>
then 2a = 4 + b <em>[divide both sides by 2 = multiplying by ¹/₂]</em>
a = ¹/₂ (4 + b)
The first integer is 11560 and the other one is -185
Calipatria is 11375 feet closer to sea level
