Solve for a and b in the graphed hyperbola

ANSWER

a=1 and b=-12

EXPLANATION

The hyperbola has a hole at:

x=3

and a vertical asymptote at x=-4.

This implies that the denominator of the rational function is

(x-3)(x+4)

We expand to get;

This simplifies to:

comparing to

We have a=1 and b=-12

associative property hopes this ! : )

step-by-step explanation:

center (1,3) with radius 6

step-by-step explanation:

we must complete the square to find the center and radius of the circle.

first make sure the x and y squared terms have 1 as their coefficients. we also make sure x and y terms together.

we now create space between the x and y terms with parenthesis.

we complete the square by taking the middle terms -2x and the -6y - divide each and square them.

we add the squares to both sides.

simplify.

and write the quadratics in factored form.

the center is (h,k) or (1,3). the radius is the square root of 36 which is 6.
