Question 18 of 32
1 point
which of the following statements best describes the transverse axis of a
hyperbola?
o
a. it equals the sum of the distances from any point on the hyperbola
to each focus.
o
b. it equals the product of the distances from any point on the
hyperbola to each focus.
o
c. it equals the difference between the distances from any point on
the hyperbola to each focus.
o
d. it equals the quotient of the distances from any point on the
hyperbola to each focus.

option a.

step-by-step explanation:

if you look closely at the graph, we can notice that the function is not defined at two different points.

if you look at functions b and c, you will notice that both functions are not defined at just one point. the function b is not defined at x= -5/2 and function c is not defined at x=-5. both options are discarded, given that our function should not be defined at two fiferent points.

now, if you look closely at the graph you will notice that the function sketched is not defined at x=5 and x=-2.

y=x+9

?

step-by-step explanation:

one set of data has more variation than the other. hope this !
