The general form for a hyperbola with the center at the origin and a vertical transverse axis is:
y2/a2 - x2/b2 = 1

From the given:
a = 12

To get b, we use the given distance between the foci.Since it's 26,
c = 26/2 = 13

Using this defintion:
c2 = a2 + b2
b = sqrt(c2 - a2) = sqrt (13^2 - 12^2) = 5

The equation therefore is:
y2/13^2 - x2/5^2 = 1
or
y2/169 - x2/25 = 1

You can use an arithmetic operator to return the modulus of a calculation, which is the ____ when you divide one number by anoth
balandron [24]

Answer:

<u>Residue</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a and b be integers. We define a mod b to be the residue of dividing a by b. For example, if a evenly divides b, then a mod b=0, 20 mod 6= 2. The modulus operator is widely used in programming, and it is convenient when a and b are large numbers.

a mod b is always a nonnegative integer. In fact, 0≤ a mod b≤ |b-1| by the division algorithm. a and b can also be negative integers. Since 8=-(-5)+3 then 8 mod -5= 3.

As a final example, some known properties can be rewritten in terms of mod. a mod 2=0 if and only if a is even. a mod 2=1 if and only if a is odd.

Complete the equation of the graphed linear function. Write the slope in decimal form.
erma4kov [3.2K]

Every straight line graph has an equation in the same form:

             y  =  (slope of the line) x  +  (y-intercept) .


-- The slope of the line is

     (how far it goes UP, going left to right between any 2 points)
divided by
     (how far it goes left to right between the same 2 points) .

The line on this graph has a slope of  + 1/2 .


-- The y-intercept is the point where the line crosses the y-axis.
The line on this graph crosses the y-axis at  -1 .

                       y  =  (slope of the line) x  +  (y-intercept) .                     

                       y  =      ( 0.5 ) x                            ( - 1 ) .

Answer:

51.39 units³

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume (V) of the prism is calculated as

V = area of base × height

Here area of base = 5.71 and height = 9, thus

V = 5.71 × 9 = 51.39 units³
