Question

I need someone to help me with hyperbolas, I keep entering an answer but it comes up wrong every time.

Answer 1

yep, those are the little f**kers

Answer 2

I need to find the vertices of the hyperbola: (y+@)^2/1 - (x+9)^2/9 = 1

Answer 3

thats y+2 not y+@

Answer 4

Got this little chart from Paul's notes. It pretty much has all you need to know about hyperbolas =P

Answer 5

In your case, k = -2, h = -9, b = 1, a = 3. So the vertices are (-9, -1) and (-9, -3).

Answer 6

says incorrect

Answer 7

no idea why?

Answer 8

I should be correct.

Yeah, but you have to be super careful, or else you easily lose points on your homework.

I remember every time I was so sure I was right, but the computer spat out a red "incorrect." It got very frustrating :/
