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.

Use the diagram to answer the question below. Which sequence lists the cell images in chronological order for mitosis
kifflom [539]

Mitosis goes in the order of PMAT, or Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telophase.


Prophase is when the nuclear envelope breaks down and the chromosomes are visible. Metaphase is when the chromosomes line up in the middle. Anaphase is when the spindle fibers pull the centromeres apart. Telophase is when the chromosomes go to the opposite sides and the nuclear envelope reappears.

How much of the parent DNA molecule makes up one daughter DNA molecule ?
nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

Watson and Crick discovered that DNA has a double helix shape, consisting of two polynucleotide chains held together by bonds between complementary bases. DNA replication is semi-conservative: half of the parent DNA molecule is conserved in each of the two daughter DNA molecules.

The answer is urethra.

It is known that the kidneys are responsible for filtration of metabolic wastes from the blood and form urine. Urine is transported through the ureters to the urinary bladder. From the urinary bladder, urine is transported to the outside of the body by the urethra.

Treat infested mango fruit of fungi
Flauer [41]

Answer:

Treating a sick mango for fungal diseases involves using a fungicide. All susceptible parts of the tree should be thoroughly coated with the fungicide before infection occurs. If applied when the tree is already infected, the fungicide will have no effect. Fungicide sprays need to be reapplied on new growth.
