Find the equation that models the path of a satellite if its path is a hyperbola, a=55,000 km and c=81,000 km. assume the center of the hyperbola is the origin and the transverse axis is horizontal.

Given:

Hyperbola

a=55,000 km and c=81,000 km

hyperbola is the origin and the transverse axis is horizontal

Required:

Equation of the path of a satellite

Solution:

Formula for hyperbola, (x-h)2/a2 – (x-k)2/b2 = 1

At origin, (h, k) = (0, 0)

(x-0)2/(55000)2 – (x-0)2/(81000)2 = 1

X2/12100 – y2/26244 = 250000

the ratio of white tiles to blue tiles is 48: 16. the ratio in it's simplest form is 3: 1.

step-by-step explanation:

ratio: take the first number and add a colon next to it, then add the second number after that. make sure the ratio order matches up with the written problem!

simplest form: we can simplify the ratio 48 : 16 by dividing both terms by the greatest common factor (gcf).

the gcf of 48 and 16 is 16.

divide both terms by 16:

48 ÷ 16 = 3

16 ÷ 16 = 1

reducing to simplest form:

48 : 16 = 3 : 1

its c or d   take a lucky guess my dude
