Find an equation in standard form for the hyperbola with vertices at (0, ±10) and asymptotes at
y = ±5/6* x.

... I'll try but no garentees
OpenStudy (anonymous):
No problem! Atleast if you can try or get someone to help you too
OpenStudy (plasmataco):
It's center is at the origin so...
OpenStudy (plasmataco):
Ok... U listening?
OpenStudy (plasmataco):
What u got to do is put the x in the coordinates of the vertices in for the asymptote equation.

So plug 10 in to get y=50/6
OpenStudy (anonymous):
is this vertical or horiztonal though
OpenStudy (plasmataco):
.
OpenStudy (plasmataco):
Hang on.
OpenStudy (plasmataco):
Because the center is (0,0), it makes thing a lot easier

Oh okay
OpenStudy (plasmataco):
The equation is ((X-g)/a)-((y-f)/b)=1
OpenStudy (anonymous):
okay yeah I have that
OpenStudy (plasmataco):
(G,f) is the center of the hyperbola in which case (0,0) so we can cancel those out to get (X squared)/a-(y squared)/b
OpenStudy (plasmataco):
My first equation is wrong. I forgot the power 2 after(x-g) and (y-f) sry 😓

OpenStudy (anonymous):
okay yeah I was gonna correct that
OpenStudy (plasmataco):
A is the x part of the vertice so 10. B is what we solved earlier with the asymptote.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
wait what is b?
OpenStudy (plasmataco):
So we get (x squared)/10-(y squared times 6)/50=1
OpenStudy (plasmataco):
The 6th comment

No wait the answer is (x/10) squared-(6y/50) squared=1
OpenStudy (plasmataco):
Forgot another pair of squares at the denominator
OpenStudy (plasmataco):
Here's the link I used

Ok well. I gotta go sry
OpenStudy (plasmataco):
I hoped I helped
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Yeah sorry I been trying to figure this out with my notes but you helped so much more thank you so much
