What is the length of the transverse axis of the conic section shown below?

(x+2)^2/16 - (y-3)^2/9 =1

Length of the transverse axis of the given conic section = 8 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of hyperbola that has a horizontal orientation in the standard form is;

             .....[1]

The center is (h, k) , the vertices are and

Since, the vertices are on the hyperbola, but the co-vertices are not on the hyperbola.

Since, the equation of the conic section is given as:

On comparing with equation [1]

⇒ center = ( -2 , 3 ) and

units

and

units

Length of the transverse axis is the distance between the two vertices, 2a = 2(4) = 8 units.

a line is an defined derm because it

a)contains an infinite number of points b) can be used to create other geometric shapes c)describes something that does not have width or depth d) is a term that does not have a formal definition. a line is an undefined term because it: contains an infinite number of points.
