To find the tangent to the hyperbola $\frac{x^{2} }{a^{2} } - \frac{y^{2} }{b^{2} }$ at (x₀, y₀), we differentiate the equation implicitly to find the equation of the tangent at (x₀, y₀).

So, $\frac{d}{dx} (\frac{x^{2} }{a^{2} } - \frac{y^{2} }{b^{2} }) = \frac{d0}{dx}\\\frac{d}{dx} \frac{x^{2} }{a^{2} } - \frac{d}{dx}\frac{y^{2} }{b^{2} }= 0\\\frac{2x }{a^{2} } - \frac{dy}{dx}\frac{2y }{b^{2} } = 0\\\frac{2x }{a^{2} } = \frac{dy}{dx}\frac{2y }{b^{2} } \\\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{b^{2}x }{a^{2}y }$

So, at (x₀, y₀)

$\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{b^{2} x_{0} }{a^{2} y_{0} }$

So, the equation of the tangent line is gotten from the standard equation of a line in point-slope form

So, $\frac{y - y_{0} }{x - x_{0} } = \frac{b^{2} x_{0} }{a^{2} y_{0} } \\y - y_{0} = \frac{b^{2} x_{0} }{a^{2} y_{0} }(x - x_{0}) \\y = \frac{b^{2} x_{0} }{a^{2} y_{0} }(x - x_{0}) + y_{0} \\y = \frac{b^{2} x_{0}x }{a^{2} y_{0} } - \frac{b^{2} x_{0}^{2} }{a^{2} y_{0} } + y_{0}$

So, the equation of the tangent line is $y = \frac{b^{2} x_{0}x }{a^{2} y_{0} } - \frac{b^{2} x_{0}^{2} }{a^{2} y_{0} } + y_{0}$

What is the volume of this prism?

marin [14]

Answer:

160 u^3

Step-by-step explanation:

For the sake of ease, I will split this prism into 2 prisms. One prism will be 2x4x5 while the second one will be 4x5x6. The volume of the prism will be the sum of the volume of both prisms.

Prism A: Volume would be lwh or 2*4*5=40

Prism B: Volume would also be lwh which is 4*5*6=120

40+120=160

The volume is 160 units^3

Hope this is correct and helps!
