Answer:
The answer to your question is:th first option is correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
Here we have and hyperbola with center (0, 1), and the hyperbola is horizontal because x² is positive.
Equation
y - k = ±
Process
Find a, b
a² = 9
a = 3
b² = 5
b = √5
h = 0 and k = 1
Substitution
y - 1 = ±
Equation 1
y =
Equation 2
y = -
<h3>Answer: Choice C</h3>
{x | x < -12 or x > -6}
=========================================================
Explanation:
Let's solve the first inequality for x.
(-2/3)x > 8
-2x > 8*3
-2x > 24
x < 24/(-2)
x < -12
The inequality sign flips when we divide both sides by a negative value.
Let's do the same for the second inequality.
(-2/3)x < 4
-2x < 4*3
-2x < 12
x > 12/(-2)
x > -6
The conclusion of each section is that x < -12 or x > -6 which points us to <u>choice C</u> as the final answer.
Side note: The intervals x < -12 and x > -6 do not overlap in any way. There's a gap between the two pieces. We consider these intervals to be disjoint. The number line graph is below.
