Wendell is looking over some data regarding the strength, measured in Pascals (Pa), of some building materials and how the strength relates to the length. The data are represented by the exponential function f(x) = 2x, where x is the length. Explain how he can convert this equation to a logarithmic function when strength is 8 Pascals.

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.

yes they are the same
