One meteorite weighs 1.8 pounds. a second meteorite weighs 2.35 times as much as the first meteorite weighs. how much does the second meteorite weigh? 4.23 pounds 3.95 pounds 3.88 pounds 4.15 pounds

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.

hi there!

the answer is: 2 and -2

step-by-step explanation:

case 1: an absolute value of positive number will still be a positive number

so absolute value of 2 is 2

case 2: an absolute value of negative number will be positive number so absolute value of -2 is 2
