http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=2z9k6qx&s=7

Answer 1

y^2/(3/sqrt65)^2 -x^2 = 1

Answer 2

Looks like the MPG in Tron Space Paranoids thing

Answer 3

thanks estu

Answer 4

Let me think, have I got the signs right?

Answer 5

if its "+" that makes it an ellipse so it has to be "-"

Answer 6

I'm just wondering if I have them reversed...

Answer 7

That can't be right, dumbcow.

Answer 8

here is a helpful reference sheet for these types of graphs

Answer 9

when x is 8, y is 3 according to the graph.

Answer 10

what did i do wrong?

Answer 11

ur result does not satisfy x is 8, y is 3.

Answer 12

Mine does.

Answer 13

yeah you're right...but the asymptote is y=+- 1/3 x
so a =1, b=3

Answer 14

can u guys help me on my most recent question aswell its the same as this

Answer 15

asymptote is plus minus 3/sqrt65

Answer 16

y= 3x/sqrt65

Answer 17

ok how did you get sqrt(65)

Answer 18

That comes from the graph and points (0,1) and (8,3)

Answer 20

To get b

Answer 21

ok thanks

Answer 22

Your procedure is right, I think u just misread the graph.

Answer 23

ok it depends if the graph is exactly on (8,3) its hard to tell
i just assumed because it had the area from x=-3 to x=3 boxed off as a give away that b=3

Answer 24

Maybe, we shouldn't have to depend on a low res graph for this kind of question.

Answer 25

And I hate doing computations....!
