Answer:

\frac{x^2}{55000^2} - \frac{y^2}{59464^2} =1

Step-by-step explanation:

the transverse axis is horizontal.

so its a horizontal hyperbola

Center is the origin so center is (0,0)

Equation of horizontal hyperbola is

\frac{x^2}{a^2} - \frac{y^2}{b^2} =1

Given a= 55000 and c= 81000

c^2 = a^2 + b^2

81000^2 = 55000^2 + b^2

subtract 55000^2 on both sides

b  = sqrt(81000^2 - 55000^2)= 59464.27

now plug in the values

\frac{x^2}{55000^2} - \frac{y^2}{59464^2} =1

What set would no longer be a A function if the ordered pair(5,3) was added
Delicious77 [7]
The answer is D because a function means for every input  you get exactly one output so
for every x you get one y
in D there is a coordinate (5,2) meaning that if you put in 5 for x you get 2 for y

but the new ordered pair also  has 5 for x but has a difarent y value.  this violates the definition of a funciton
