Remark

When talking about straight lines, D is never true. Never.

C is possible, but in this case not true. Read on.

B. Might be true but in this case it is not. The lines (to be parallel) have to have the same number in front of the x. These two lines do when you divide through by 5. But the y intercept has to be different. That is not so in this case. So B is incorrect.

A is your answer. If you divide through by 5 on the second one, you get the first one. They are identical.

Write a equation of a hyperbola given the foci and the asymptotes

professor190 [17]

Solution:

The standard equation of a hyperbola is expressed as

$\begin{gathered} \frac{(x-h)^2}{a^2}-\frac{(y-k)^2}{b^2}=1\text{ \lparen parallel to the x-axis\rparen} \\ \frac{(y-k)^2}{a^2}-\frac{(x-h)^2}{b^2}=1\text{ \lparen parallel to the y-axis\rparen} \end{gathered}$

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:

$\frac{(y-k)^2}{a^2}-\frac{(x-h)^2}{b^2}=1\text{ ----equation 1}$

The asymptote of n hyperbola is expressed as

$y=\pm\frac{a}{b}(x-h)+k$

Given that the asymptotes are

$y=\frac{3}{4}x\text{ and y=-}\frac{3}{4}x$

This implies that

$a=3,\text{ and b=4}$

To evaluate the value of h and k,

$undefined$

Greeley [361]

Complete Question:

Johnny printed two maps of a walking trail near his home. The length of the walking trail on the first map is 8 cm.

(a) Choose a length between 5 cm and 15 cm for the walking trail on the second map: ________cm.

(b) Determine the scale factor from the first map to the second map.

(c) A landmark on the first map is a triangle with side lengths of 3 cm, 4 cm, and 5 cm. What are the side lengths of the triangle landmark on the second map?

(d) Draw one of the triangles from part C. Label the side lengths and vertices accordingly. You may use this drawing tool or draw your triangle on paper:

Answer:

(a) Length = 4cm

(b) Scale factor = 0.5

(d) See attachment for triangle

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) Choose a length between 5 cm and 15 cm

$Length =4cm$ <em>--- This is solely up to you (you can make use of any length between 5 cm and 15 cm)</em>
