Step-by-step explanation: We can write a ratio using the word "to", using a colon, or using a fraction bar.

Here, since we want our ratio in simplest form,

I would use a fraction bar.

Now, the problem asks us to compare

the number of boys to the number of girls.

We know that there are 12 boys

and we know that there are 15 girls.

So our ratio is 12/15.

However, this can be reduced to 4/5.

What is the center of the hyperbola whose equation is (y+3)^2/81-(x-6)^2/89=1?

xxMikexx [17]

We have been given an equation of hyperbola $\frac{(y+3)^2}{81}-\frac{(x-6)^2}{89}=1$ . We are asked to find the center of hyperbola.

We know that standard equation of a vertical hyperbola is in form $\frac{(y-k)^2}{b^2}-\frac{(x-h)^2}{a^2}=1$ , where point (h,k) represents center of hyperbola.

Upon comparing our given equation with standard vertical hyperbola, we can see that the value of h is 6.

To find the value of k, we need to rewrite our equation as:

$\frac{(y-(-3))^2}{81}-\frac{(x-6)^2}{89}=1$

Now we can see that value of k is $-3$ . Therefore, the vertex of given hyperbola will be at point $(6,-3)$ and option D is the correct choice.
