    Arch involving CONICS hyperbola equation

    Your task is to design a curved arch similar to the a tunnel for cars. with a horizontal span of 100 m and a maximum height of 20 m. Using a domain of {x:-50<=x<=50} and {y:0<=y<=20} determine the following types of equations that could be used to model the curved arch. the equation of a...

    Is This Function a Variation of a Hyperbola?

    hi i got this equation y= x^2 - 2x + 1 / X^2 -x - 2 how do i sketch this finding all intercepts, and asymptotes with a gfx calculator? Please check if the steps i did below is right what i did i factorised the equation so i got y= (x-1)^2 / (x+1)(x-2) ASYMPTOTES the bottom line...

    HELP Features of A Hyperbola CONIC

    :cry: \frac {(x-1)^2} {9} - \frac {(y+2)^2} {25} = 1 I think this is a vertical hyperbola with center (1,-2) a=5 b=3 Transversal length=10 Conjugate length =6 Vertex (1,-7) and (1,3) Foci (1,sqrt(34)-2) and (1,-sqrt(34)-2) Asymptotes y+2=5/3(x-1) and y+2=-5/3 (x-1) I don't...

    Find the equation of the hyperbola with centre at the origin

    Find the equation of the hyperbola with centre at the origin and sketch the graph. e. tranverse axis is on the y-axis and passes through the points R(4, 6) and S(1, -3) How would I find a and b? I plugged in the coordinates in \frac{x^2}{a^2} - \frac{y^2}{b^2} = 1 and came up with two...

    Conjugate Hyperbola: Find Equation w/ Asymptotes y=+/-2x

    What is a conjugate hyperbola? I'm asked to find the equation of the conjugate hyperbola if the asymptotes are y = +/- 2x. Would it be \frac{x^2}{1} + \frac{y^2}{4} = 1 or \frac{x^2}{1} + \frac{y^2}{4} = -1?

    Calculating Area of Hyperbola & Line Region

    Find the area of the region bounded by the hyperbola 9x^2-4y^2 = 36 and the line x = 3. I'm thinking that I have to integrate for x, so I'll have the sum of twice the area from 2 to 3. The function will be + \sqrt {\frac {9x^2-36}{4}} hence, the integral will be 2\int_2^3 {\sqrt {\frac...

    The graphic of |F||D|=1 is hyperbola or ellipse

    |F||D|=1 is the simplest form of the law of lever in equilibrium. If |F|=|x-y| and |D|=x+y then |x^2-y^2|=1 is an real hyperbola. In this case the interaction is repulsive. If |F|=x-iy and |D|=x+iy then x^2+y^2=1 is an real ellipse or imaginary hyperbola. In this case the interaction is...

    Rotating 1/x to make a hyperbola?

    Hey everyone, I was having trouble with this question. The graph of 1/x is a hyperbola, but it's equation does not fit the form (x-h)/(a^2) - (y-k)/(b^2) = 1. Rotate 1/x using polar coordinates, change it back into cartesian coordinates, and write the equation in standard hyberbola notation...
