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

Well a triangle equals 180 degrees so if you already have 90 then you would need the other 90. By looking at the triangle I would say y=45. I hope I helped! :)

What is the equation of y = x ^ 3 with the given transformations? vertical compression by a factor of horizontal shift 8 units t
dexar [7]

Answer: y = 3 (x -4)^3

Step-by-step explanation: horizontal shift of 4 units to the right (subtract 4 units from the x):   y = 3(x - 4)^3

Vertical shift 3 units down (subtract 3 units from the function):   y = 3(x - 4)^3 - 3
