Using quadratic formula you can have a maximum of two solutions. When you set this problem equal to zero, your a=-1, b=-10, c=2
Given:
Hyperbola
a=55,000 km and c=81,000 km
hyperbola is the origin and the
transverse axis is horizontal
Required:
Equation of the path of a
satellite
Solution:
Formula for hyperbola, (x-h)2/a2
– (x-k)2/b2 = 1
At origin, (h, k) = (0, 0)
(x-0)2/(55000)2 – (x-0)2/(81000)2
= 1
<span>X2/12100 – y2/26244 = 250000</span>
A) 1
B) 10/3
C) 6
D) 18/5
So only C is bigger than 4
75 meters
Step-by-step explanation:
5 x 30/2
= 5 x 15
= 75 meters
