Answer:

\frac{x^2}{12}-\frac{y^2}{4}=1

Step-by-step explanation:

Since our foci are located on the x-axis, then our major axis is going to be the horizontal transverse axis of the hyperbola:

<u>Formula for hyperbola with horizontal transverse axis centered at origin</u>

  • <u />\frac{x^2}{a^2}-\frac{y^2}{b^2}=1
  • Directrices -> x=\pm\frac{a^2}{c}
  • Foci -> (\pm c,0) where a^2+b^2=c^2
  • a>b

Since we are given our directrices of x=\pm3 and foci of (\pm4,0), then we can set up the directrices equation to solve for a^2:

x=\pm\frac{a^2}{c}\\ \\\pm3=\pm\frac{a^2}{4}\\ \\12=a^2

Now we can determine b^2 to complete our equation for the hyperbola:

a^2+b^2=c^2\\\\12+b^2=4^2\\\\12+b^2=16\\\\b^2=4

Therefore, our equation for our hyperbola is \frac{x^2}{12}-\frac{y^2}{4}=1

OLEGan [10]
Let the unknown side be "z" inches
Through pythagoras:
{12}^{2}  +  {z}^{2}  =  {20}^{2}
Because the square of the two sides add up to the square of the hypotenuse in a right triangle.

This means that
{z }^{2}  = {20}^{2}  -  {12}^{2}
{z}^{2}  = 400 - 144 = 256
z =  \sqrt{256}  = 16
So the missing side is 16 inches
