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.

Which of the following is not necessarily true of metapopulations?
Oxana [17]

Answer:

Option C, Each subpopulation is linked to all other subpopulations by dispersal.

Explanation:

Each sub-population with in a metapopulation is not only connected by the dispersal distance travelled by an organism but also by the distance between the patches on which two sub population live. There are several other factors that limitise the concept of connection of subpopulation by dispersal factor and these vulnerable factors are – properties of terrain between the patches and its adverse affect on the dispersal behaviour of dispersing agent/species.

Hence, option C is correct.

What are the benefits of planting only native species when implementing rain gardens, no-mow native meadows, and/or tree plantin
Zolol [24]

All options above are potential benefits of planting only native species when implementing rain gardens, no-mow native meadows, and/or tree plantings.

<h3>What are native species?</h3>

Native species are species that evolved in a particular environment and therefore they are well adapted to it.

Native plants are well know to be more adapted to survival and do not need extra watering to survive.

In conclusion, all options above are potential benefits of planting only native species when implementing rain gardens, no-mow native meadows, and/or tree plantings.

Which of the following describes how polluted water sources would most likely affect one’s personal health?
Bogdan [553]
I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is the last option. Polluted water sources would most likely affect one’s personal health since p<span>athogens would invade the body and cause disease, such as giardia. Pathogens would go with the water we take in our body and would disturb the processes inside causing illnesses.</span>
