Suppose that 17 inches of wire costs 51 cents. at the same rate, how much (in cents) will 43 inches of wire cost?

relating to or denoting a system of numbers and arithmetic based on the number ten, tenth parts, and powers of ten.

it alot will look like this 4.4

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.
