ANSWER:

Since your hyperbola has the "y" term listed first, it opens "up and down.'

It's also centered at (0,0)

So the form is: y²/b² - x^²/a² = 1

In your case,

b² = 16

so, b = √(16) = 4.

And a² = 9

so, a = √(9) = 3.

So, the equations for the asymptotes are y = +(b/a)x and y = -(b/a)x

So we have, in your case,

y = +(4/3)x and y = - (4/3)x.

As this equation is already in the correct format, put x and y equal to zero and you will see that when x = 0, y² = 16 which gives the y intercepts.

If you put y = 0 , you get x² = − 9 which doesn't give any real roots. The graph will therefore be a hyperbola in the shape of a V and an upside down V (as opposed to being on their sides like ><).

You can use the formula:

y = ±(b/a)x

to determine the equations of the asymptotes where

a = √9, b = √16

and you will get

y = ± (4/3)x.

Foodborne pathogens often require the presence of a large number of microbes before an active infection results. These microbes
Dvinal [7]

The virulence of the microbes should be high to cause an active infection.

Explanation:

Virulence is the actual potential or ability of a pathogenic microbe to infect a host. Even with a high median infectious dose to cause an infection, it is the virulence which defines the level of pathogenicity or ability of the pathogens like the foodborne pathogens to cause and active infection.

An active infection is caused when virulence of the pathogen is high. The virulence factors are surface receptors, surface coats, and toxins.

Virulent bacteria cause active infection by adhesion, colonization, invasion, immune response inhibitors, or as toxins. A virulent virus replicates rapidly and modifies the host’s defensive mechanism

pogonyaev

The correct answer is - hierarchical

Each entry in a(n) hierarchical database has one parent node, with the parent node having several child nodes.

A hierarchical database model is a data model where the data is organized into a tree like structure. The data is stored as records and these are connected to one another through links.
