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

While attending a major league baseball game, you think you can guess the attendence within 10% of the actual value. If the anno
MA_775_DIABLO [31]
44,000 people is 100% of the attendance value, so you would need to guess within a 90-110% range of the actual value (90% is 10 less than 100% and 110% is 10 more than 100%). To get the number of people in the range, you need to multiply. 44,000×0.9=39,600 people. 44,000×1.1=48,400. So the range your guess would have to be in is 39,600-48,400 people.
