Question

Is this a hyperbola?

Answer 1

what is?

Answer 2

sorry I'm slow :P
I'm not sure about the graph because the bottom curves up.

Answer 3

it looks like two parabolas.

Answer 4

one very wide and another (upwards) very narrow

Answer 5

My Assignment is to identify the conic sections. It doesn't say it can't be two things... this is the equation BTW. (x^2/28)-y=0

Answer 6

not "upwards" rather at the top

Answer 7

no y^2 ??

Answer 8

nope. just y.

Answer 9

well one variable squared is a parabola.
two squared variables either a circumference or an ellipse or an hyperbola.

Answer 10

O.k! I never really noticed the differences in the equations till I graph them... So since there is is only one squared variable it's a parabola and since there's two lines on the graph there is two parabolas?
