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.

Musya8 [376]

Answer:

Yes.

Explanation:

Yes, small plants began to grow along the remaining soil because of the presence of seeds in the soil that sense suitable environmental condition and come out of the soil. The ashes of burn trees have huge amount of nutrients in the form of minerals that triggers the growth of small plants. After the destruction of forest, new plants grow on that land, this type of phenomenon  is called ecological succession.

Which behavior in a 20-month-old would lead the nurse to suspect that the child is being abused?
Artyom0805 [142]
<span>For a 20 month old child, a nurse may look for extremes in behavior to determine if the child is being abused. This includes being distant from parents or avoiding them, or being overly clingy. The child may act out or yell at any contact, or inconsolably cry beyond the point of a regular tantrum.</span>
