Question

What is the equation of the hyperbola with a=6 and c=10. Assume that the transverse axis is horizonatial

Answer 1

solve a pythag for b and plug it all in

Answer 2

I am lost

Answer 3

on what?

Answer 4

theres something i can work with :)

Answer 5

the 100 is wrong ... and you need and =1 tacked onthe end

Answer 6

a hyperbola does a normal looking pythag reference (its the ellipse thats wierd on it)
\[a^2+b^2 = c^2\]
\[36+b^2 = 100\]
\[b^2 = 100-36\]

Answer 7

ok so 6^2+64^2=10^2?

Answer 8

b=8, yes therefore under y is 64
