A telescope contains both a parabolic mirror and a hyperbolic mirror. They share focus ​, which is 46feet above the vertex of th

e parabola. The​ hyperbola's second focus is 6 ft above the​ parabola's vertex. The vertex of the hyperbolic mirror is 3 ft below . Find the equation of the hyperbola if the center is at the origin of a coordinate system and the foci are on the​ y-axis. Complete the equation.

the center is at the origin of a coordinate system and the foci are on the y-axis, then the foci are symmetric about the origin.

The hyperbola focus F1 is 46 feet above the vertex of the parabola and the hyperbola focus F2 is 6 ft above the parabola's vertex. Then the distance F1F2 is 46-6=40 ft.

In terms of hyperbola, F1F2=2c, c=20.

The vertex of the hyperba is 2 ft below focus F1, then in terms of hyperbola c-a=2 and a=c-2=18 ft.

Use formula c^2=a^2+b^2c

=a

+b

to find b:

\begin{gathered} (20)^2=(18)^2+b^2,\\ b^2=400-324=76 \end{gathered}

(20)

=(18)

+b

b

=400−324=76

.

The branches of hyperbola go in y-direction, so the equation of hyperbola is

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

b

Substitute a and b:

\dfrac{y^2}{76}- \dfrac{x^2}{324}=1

=1 .

Explain why it can be helpful to use partial quotients when dividing?
Anastasy [175]
In mathematics, a quotient (from Latin: quotiens "how many times", pronounced ˈkwoʊʃənt) is the result of division. For example, when dividing 6 by 3, the quotient is 2, while 6 is called the dividend, and 3 the divisor.

25 POINTS HELP PLEASE! Complete the table and pattern. Determine the common difference. Write the explicit rule.
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

See the answers below

Step-by-step explanation:

Nine

The first step is to find the common difference. That's found by using

<em><u>Common Difference</u></em>

t4 - t3

t4 = - 15

t3 = - 19

t4 - t3 = -15 - - 19

t4 - t3 = -15 + 19

t4 - t3 = 4

t1 = - 27 which is the first term.

<em><u>Explicit formula</u></em>

tn = a + (n - 1)*d

tn = - 27 + (n - 1)*4

t5 = -27 + (5 - 1)*4

t5 = -27 + 4*4

t5 = - 11

<em><u>Recursive</u></em>

tn = tn - 1 + 4

Ten

<em><u>Common difference</u></em>

t4 - t3

21 - 15

Common difference = 6

t2 = 33 - 6

t2 = 27

<em><u>Explicit formula</u></em>

tn = a + (n - 1)*d

tn = 33 + (n - 1)*6

<em><u>Recursive Formula</u></em>

tn = tn-1  + 6
