Raymond is designing a ceramic pot on a coordinate system where each unit corresponds to 1 millimeter. The neck of the pot has edges with the shape of a hyperbola, where the asymptotes y = 2.75x and y = -2.75x are followed. If the closest
that any part of the neck edges comes to the center of the neck is 32 millimeters, write an equation for the hyperbola used
to model the edges.

  x^2/1024 -y^2/7744 = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The parent hyperbola relation is ...

  x^2 -y^2 = 1

This has asymptotes of y = ±x and x-intercepts of ±1.

For the given hyperbola, we want to scale x by a factor of 32, and y by a factor that is 2.75 times that, or 88. Then the equation could be written as ...

  (x/32)^2 -(y/88)^2 = 1

More conventionally, the denominator is shown at full value:

  x^2/1024 -y^2/7744 = 1

168

step-by-step explanation:

first off, we know that he drove 3.5 hours at a rate of 48 mph.

knowing that, we want to see how many miles he drove all-together.

in this case, we can just multiply 48 by 3.5.

48 * 3.5 = 168
