Given the hyperbola (y2/16) – (x2/9) = 1, find the equations for its asymptotes.​

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.

zhuklara [117]

Answer: Plants do both photosynthesis and cellular respiration.

Explanation:

All cells do cellular respiration even without light.

Honestly, photosynthesis alone would be right since the teacher didnt  state the questions correctly. But you should choose both cause in the light it does both.

Anna11 [10]

Answer:

It is a seeded vascular plant.

It does not depend on insect pollination.

Explanation:

The complete question is: <em>A scientist has discovered a new plant species in the Amazon rainforest. She tells her fellow scientists that the plant she has found produces a cone. What might they say about how this plant is different from an angiosperm? Its seeds have one or two cotyledons. Its stems' vascular bundles are scattered. It does not depend on insect pollination. It is a seeded vascular plant. </em>

<em />

<em>The correct option would be that the plant is a seeded vascular plant and does not depend on insect pollination.</em>

Gymnosperms are the only group of plants that produce cones. They are one of the plant groups that have vascular tissues in the form of xylem and phloem as well as been able to produce seed in the form fo cones. Hence, they are said to be seeded vascular plants.

Gymnosperms also carry out their pollination by relying solely on wind for the transfer of their pollen grain to the female organ. In other words, they do not depend on insect for pollination.
