The maximum weight that a rectangular beam can support varies jointly as its width and the square of its height and inversely as its length. if a beam
foot wide,
foot high, and 10 feet long can support 10 tons, find how much a similar beam can support if the beam is
foot wido,
foot high, and 17 feet long.
the maximum weight is __
tons. (round to one decimal place as needed.)

answer: i guess 5 units?

step-by-step explanation:

let's first notice, the center of the hyperbola is at the origin, since the focus points are equidistantly 3 units away from the origin, that also means that the distance "c" from the center to either focus is 3.

it should also be notable that, the traverse axis for this hyperbola is vertical, or namely over the y-axis and therefore, the positive fraction will be the one with y-variable.

the traverse "a" component or distance from the center to either vertex is not 2, is more than 2, so we can safely put it at √5 ≈ 2.24.
