OpenStudy (amistre64):

i always start with a drawing to organize the information

OpenStudy (amistre64):

what do we know from the information already?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

have the equation of hyperbola

OpenStudy (amistre64):

right, you should be able to know some of the parts, and how to orient the x and y parts, positive for negative, and find one of the denominators

OpenStudy (anonymous):

C(3,1) and asymptote of +5 and - 5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i have only 30 min.. to review and i have a quiz, please amistre :D

OpenStudy (amistre64):

im not taking your quiz so you need to start telling me how to build this, and ill correct you as needed.

OpenStudy (amistre64):

are those the slopes of the asymptotes? +- 5 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it means: y=+-5x , you dont know this?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

i was clarifying since it was vague

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so how can we find the equation by using this?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

since asymptotes is (y-k)=+-b/a(x-h)

OpenStudy (amistre64):

|dw:1431051096937:dw| we cant, at least nothing concrete without a vertex or focus .... or axis length
