Which hyperbola has one focus in common with the hyperbola x^2/16 - y^2/9 = 1

The same focus is (-5 , 0) ⇒ Answer D

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets study the equation of the hyperbola

# The standard form of the equation of a hyperbola with  

  center (0 , 0) and transverse axis parallel to the x-axis is

  x²/a² - y²/b² = 1

- The coordinates of the foci are (± c , 0),  where c² = a² + b²

# The standard form of the equation of a hyperbola with  

  center (h , k) and transverse axis parallel to the x-axis is

  (x - h)²/a² - (y - k)²/b² = 1

- the coordinates of the foci are (h ± c , k), where c² = a² + b²

# The standard form of the equation of a hyperbola with  

  center (h , k) and transverse axis parallel to the y-axis is

  (y - k)²/a² - (x - h)²/b² = 1

- the coordinates of the foci are (h , k ± c), where c² = a² + b²

* Now lets solve the problem

∵ x²/16 - y²/9 = 1

∴ a² = 16 and b² = 9

∵ c² = a² + b²

∴ c² = 16 + 9 = 25 ⇒ take √ to find the values of c

∴ c = ±√25 = ± 5

∴ The foci are (5 , 0) , (-5 , 0)

# Answer A:

∵ (y - 5)/16 - (x - 13)/9 = 1

∵  (y - k)²/a² - (x - h)²/b² = 1

∴ The foci are (h , k + c) , (h , k - c)

∴ h = 13 and k = 5

∵ a² = 16 and b² = 9

∵ c² = a² + b²

∴ c² = 16 + 9 = 25 ⇒ take √ to find the values of c

∴ c = ±√25 = ± 5

∴ The foci are (13 , 5+5) , (13 , 5-5)

∴ The foci are (13 , 10) , (13 , 0) ⇒ not the same

# Answer B:

∵ (x - 13)²/25 - (y - 5)²/144

∵ (x - h)²/a² - (y - k)²/b² = 1

∵ The foci are (h ± c , k)

∴ h = 13 and k = 5

∵ a² = 25 and b² = 144

∵ c² = a² + b²

∴ c² = 125 + 144 = 169 ⇒ take √ to find the values of c

∴ c = ±√169 = ± 13

∴ The foci are (13 + 13 , 5) , (13 - 13 , 5)

∴ The foci are (26 , 5) , (0 , 5) ⇒ not the same

# Answer C:

∵ (y - 5)/25 - (x - 13)/144 = 1

∵  (y - k)²/a² - (x - h)²/b² = 1

∴ The foci are (h , k + c) , (h , k - c)

∴ h = 13 and k = 5

∵ a² = 25 and b² = 144

∵ c² = a² + b²

∴ c² = 25 + 144 = 169 ⇒ take √ to find the values of c

∴ c = ±√169 = ± 13

∴ The foci are (13 , 5+13) , (13 , 5-13)

∴ The foci are (13 , 18) , (13 , -8) ⇒ not the same

# Answer D:

∵ (y + 13)/144 - (x + 5)/25 = 1

∵  (y - k)²/a² - (x - h)²/b² = 1

∴ The foci are (h , k + c) , (h , k - c)

∴ h = -5 and k = -13

∵ a² = 144 and b² = 25

∵ c² = a² + b²

∴ c² = 144 + 25 = 169 ⇒ take √ to find the values of c

∴ c = ±√169 = ± 13

∴ The foci are (-5 , -13+13) , (-5 , -13-13)

∴ The foci are (-5 , 0) , (-5 , -26) ⇒ one of them the same

* The same focus is (-5 , 0)

Step-by-step explanation: I got this right on Edmentum.

stew reads at the fastest rate of 265 words per minute.

step-by-step explanation:

it's a given that felicia reads at 260 word per minute and on connie's graph we can see that she reads 200 words per minute. since stew's table tells us that he read 795 in 3 minutes, we can divide 795 by 3 to find out how many words he reads per minute.

795/3 = 265

stew reads 265 words per minute - he reads at the fastest rate since felecia reads at 260 words per minute and connie reads at 200 words per minute.

stew (265) > felecia (260) > connie (200)

$12. that is my answer.
