sirm3d · Answer

the transverse axis is $2a$ while the conjugate axis is $2b$

anonymous · Answer

choices:

The transverse axis is 12 and the conjugate axis is 14. 

 The transverse axis is 14 and the conjugate axis is 12. 

 The transverse axis is 36 and the conjugate axis is 49. 

 The transverse axis is 49 and the conjugate axis is 36.

sirm3d · Answer

$a$ and $b$ are chosen in such a way that the sign of the term containing $a^2$ is positive while that of $b^2$ is negative.

sirm3d · Answer

in $\displaystyle \frac{y^2}{49}-\frac{x^2}{36}=1$, $a^2=49$

anonymous · Answer

The transverse axis is 49 and the conjugate axis is 36?

sirm3d · Answer

$a^2=49$ so $a=7$ and $2a = 14$, the transverse axis.

anonymous · Answer

so its the 2nd option?
