Question

What are the asymptotes?

Answer 1

\[\frac{ (x+5)^{2} }{ 25 }-\frac{ (y-8)^{2} }{ 64 }=1\]

Answer 2

Simple, An asymptote is a line or curve that approaches a given curve arbitrarily closely, as illustrated in attachment. The plot shows , which has a vertical asymptote at and a horizontal asymptote at .

Answer 3

I don't think he was asking what an asymptote was, but more of what the ones he posted are. XD

Answer 8

Center: (−5,8)
Vertices: (0,8),(−10,8)
Eccentricity: √89 / 5
Focal Parameter: 64 √89 /89
Asymptotes: y=8x/5 + 16 , y =−8x/5
