Question

A stunt pilot performs a dive over the audience. The plane’s flight can be modeled by the hyperbola 4y2 − 1,225x2 = 5,000. At approximately what height (in meters) is the plane closest to the audience? (Assume that the origin lies at ground level.)

Answer 1

It would be much better if @17csharmon was here. That way, we could collaborate about it rather than writing up some overly long explanation.

Answer 2

Agreed
