On January 1, 2009, David owed $9,452 to his friend Mackenzie, who was kind enough not to charge David any interest. Each month during 2009, David paid Mackenzie some of the money he owed. If David still owed Mackenzie $5,876 on January 1, 2010, what was the average amount of David's monthly payments?

hi!

i believe that john has 55 pieces of candy left.

!

answer: idk wbu

step-by-step explanation: umm..

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.
