Which is the equation of a hyperbola with directrices at y = ±2 and foci at (0, 4) and (0, −4)?

Mathematics

Advocard [28]3 years ago

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First off, I'm assuming that when you said "directrices" you mean the oblique asymptotes, since hyperbolas do not have directrices they have oblique asymptotes.

If we plot the asymptotes and the foci, we see that where the asymptotes cross is at the origin. This means that the center of the hyperbola is (0, 0), which is important to know.

After we plot the foci, we see that they are one the y-axis, which is a vertical axis, which means that the hyperbola opens up and down instead of sideways. Knowing those 2 characteristics, we can determine that the equation we are trying to fill in has the standard form

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

We know h and k from the center, now we need to find a and b. Those values can be found from the asymptotes. The asymptotes have the standard form

y = ±\frac{a}{b}(x-h)+k

Filling in our asymptotes as they were given to us:

y = ±\frac{2}{1}(x-0)+0 where a is 2 and b is 1. Now we can write the formula for the hyperbola!:

\frac{(y-0)^2}{4}-\frac{(x-0)^2}{1}=1 which of course simplifies to

\frac{y^2}{4}-\frac{x^2}{1}=1

I dont understand how to simplify an expression with exponents
Mashutka [201]

Answer:

3^4

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying an expression with expression with exponents:

If they are dividing, we keep the base and subtract the exponents. For example:

\frac{a^x}{a^y}=a^{x-y}

In this question:

\frac{3^2}{3^{-2}}=3^{2-(-2)}=3^{2+2}=3^4

If the diameter of a sphere is 1 meter, then what is its surface area? Leave your answer in terms of π= 3.14
umka21 [38]

surface area = 4 x pi x r^2

 diameter = 1 so radius = 1/2 = 0.5

4 x 3.14 x 0.5^2 = 3.14 meters^2
