Hyperbola centered at the origin, vertex (0,19), asymptote y = (19/16) x

The axis is the y axis so this hyperbola has the form

y^2/a^2 -x^2/b^2 = 1

We have (0,19) on the hyperbola so a=19.  I'm going to take a wild guess that b=16 so our hyperbola has equation:

\dfrac{y^2}{19^2} -\dfrac{x^2}{16^2} = 1

How do we find the asymptote?  I don't remember, it's going to be approximately the line from the origin to some point with really big x and y.

\dfrac{y^2}{19^2} = \dfrac{x^2}{16^2} + 1

As x gets big the +1 will matter less and less, so the asymptote is

\dfrac{y^2}{19^2} = \dfrac{x^2}{16^2}

(16y)^2 - (19x)^2 = 0

(16y - 19x)(16y + 19x) = 0

y= \pm \dfrac{19}{16} x

Our guess was right!

Answer:  \dfrac{y^2}{19^2} -\dfrac{x^2}{16^2} = 1

Given the expression-1/2(4x-6) +2 (x2-5x+5) complete the instructions below
Art [367]

Answer:

  A) 2x^2 -12x +13

  B) terms {2x^2, -12x, 13}; coefficients {2, -12, 13}; constants {13}

Step-by-step explanation:

A) Using the distributive property, we get ...

  -2x +3 +2x^2 -10x +10

  = 2x^2 -12x +13

__

B) Terms: {2x^2, -12x, 13}

  Factors: There are no overall factors. Each term has factors ...

     2x^2 has factors {2, x, x}

     -12x has factors {-1, 2, 2, 3, x}

     13 has factors {1, 13} (it is prime)

  Coefficients: {2, -12, 13} . . . see note below

  Constants: {13}

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

We have listed the prime factors of each term, any subset can be multiplied to be a factor of the term. For example, 2·3 = 6 is a factor of -12x.

Please note that some sources do not consider a constant (13) to be a coefficient. You will need to refer to your curriculum materials to see what your author says about that.

Umnica [9.8K]
The chance that he will catch a grey squirrel is 

82/147

but you are trying to figure out the chance of him NOT getting a grey squirrel so

147/147 - 82 /147 = 65/147 

65/147 is your answer and you can not round that down anymore
