Question

Write the equation of a hyperbola with vertices at (-4, 0) and (4, 0) and co-vertices (0, 5) and (0, -5).

Answer 1

I'd suggest that you first sketch this hyperbola. That may give y ou some clues regarding the equation of the hyperb ola. Also, write out the general equation of a hyperbola centered at (0,0).

What are "covertices?" "vertices?"

Answer 2

co-vertices (0, 5) and (0, -5).

Answer 3

vertices at (-4, 0) and (4, 0)

Answer 4

It's the other way around, because -5 and 5 are further from the center than are -4 and 4.

Are you going to sketch this hyperbola, showin all of the vertices mentioned?

Answer 5

ok have sketch
