2. A bacteria is being treated with a new drug. A researcher estimates that a sample culture has approximately 150,000 bacteria in it. This drug attacks the bacteria is such
a way that each week it reduces in half each day.
Model this situation with a table, a graph, and an equation.

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.
