The equation of a hyperbola is:
(x – h)^2 / a^2 - (y – k)^2 / b^2 = 1
So what we have to do is to look for the values of the variables:
<span>For the given hyperbola : center (h, k) = (0, 0)
a = 3(distance from center to vertices)
a^2 = 9</span>
<span>
c = 7 (distance from center to vertices; given from the foci)
c^2 = 49</span>
<span>By the hypotenuse formula:
c^2 = a^2 + b^2
b^2 = c^2 - a^2 </span>
<span>b^2 = 49 – 9</span>
<span>b^2 = 40
</span>
Therefore the equation of the hyperbola is:
<span>(x^2 / 9) – (y^2 / 40) = 1</span>
Answer:
1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
9/16 is equal to 0.5625
. The closest number to this is 0.5 which is the same as 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
-16 + 3n = - 8 - 5n
Bringing like terms on one side
3n + 5n = - 8 + 16
8n = 8
n = 8/8
N = 1
