There are two fruit trees located at (3,0) and (–3, 0) in the backyard plan. Maurice wants to use these two fruit trees as the focal points for an elliptical flowerbed. Johanna wants to use these two fruit trees as the focal points for some hyperbolic flowerbeds. Create the location of two vertices on the y-axis. Show your work creating the equations for both the horizontal ellipse and the horizontal hyperbola. Include the graph of both equations and the focal points on the same coordinate plane.

please help

solomonzelman · Answer

Igtg, sorry

anonymous · Answer

how did you get that?

jdoe0001 · Answer

well... we have a focus point.... we do not have a major axis or minor/conjugate axis though

anonymous · Answer

ok

jdoe0001 · Answer

so... without knowing    what those are.... not sure we could get "a" or "b"
if we knew either... we could get the other

anonymous · Answer

ok

thats all there is. please help me

jdoe0001 · Answer

ohhh ... shoot.. I just read... it again  dohhh
" Create the location of two vertices on the y-axis "

so you ARE expected to make up the values of either... so....  pick your points over the y-axis then  |dw:1407801442390:dw|    <-- there... you can draw on that btw

jdoe0001 · Answer

so... what vertices did you pick?   keep in mind you're meant to make up the values over the y-axis
