OpenStudy (anonymous):

@apoorvk Helm me pls (:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thx for takin a look @apoorvk and @ash2326

OpenStudy (anonymous):

U can give me clues

OpenStudy (apoorvk):

I am sorry, my browser crashed. okay it's a hyperbola, so going by the basic definition of this conic, |PA-PA'| = AA'= constant. right? (2a = length of the major axis)

OpenStudy (apoorvk):

I think, there is some data missing.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

|PF-PF'| = AA' ???

OpenStudy (turingtest):

is the point P \((u,6)\) ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

P(-4,6)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the given point is P(-4,6)

OpenStudy (apoorvk):

*some data missing* - or else derive it terms of some assumed constant.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea some data could be missing

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but i dont know what

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thx anyway (:

OpenStudy (apoorvk):

the length of AO or AA' or the major axis, or the eccentricity?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this is all i have

OpenStudy (anonymous):

C'mon @experimentX do it! ( : i m beleivin uu

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but..

OpenStudy (experimentx):

you know the answer?? we could try 4,0 is the focus and 6 is the semi-latus rectum of the hyperbola ... (if the figure is accurate) Lol ... this is just a guess

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thx uuu i guess something s wrong

OpenStudy (experimentx):

is answer 10??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

18

OpenStudy (experimentx):

it seems that x<4 http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=solution+of+4^2%2Fx^2+-+6^2%2Fy^2+%3D+1 which suggests that PA is always less than 10

OpenStudy (experimentx):

sorry a<4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

dont u think we need asymptotes ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thx @experimentX for your help. wasted your time

OpenStudy (experimentx):

No ... not really ... i enjoy doing weird problems!!

OpenStudy (experimentx):

also update it if you find it's solution!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok (:
