the nth term of sequence p is an + b the nth term of sequence q is bn + a The 2nd term of sequence P equals the 3rd term of sequence Q Show that a=2b

the answer is a if my teacher taught me correct

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.

the answer is about 24 dollars
