54.PHYSICS An hyperbola occurs naturally when two nearly identical glass plates in contact on one edge and separated by about 5 millimeters at the otheredgearedippedinathickliquid.Theliquidwill rise by capillarity to form a hyperbola caused by the surface tension. Find a model for the hyperbola if the conjugate axis is 50 centimeters and the transverse axis is 30 centimeters.
SOLUTION:The length of the conjugate axis is 2b. So, 2b = 50,
b = 25, and b2 = 625. The length of the transverse
axis is 2a. So, 2a = 30, b = 15, and b2 = 225.
Since the orientation of the hyperbola is not
specified, either =1 or

the foci, or (4, 7). So, h = 4 and k = 7. The
slopes of the asymptotes are . So, the positive

= 2a, a = 5, and a2 = 25. The slopes of the
asymptotes are , and the standard form of the

= 2b, b = 6, and b2 = 36. The slopes of the
asymptotes are , and the standard form of the

vertices, or (2, 3). So, h = 2 and k = 3. Because the vertices are 4 units apart, 2a = 4, a =
2, and a2 = 4. The length of the conjugate axis is 12
units, so 2b = 12, b = 6, and b2 = 36.

The center is located at the midpoint of the vertices, or (2, 4). So, h = 2 and k = 4. Because the
vertices are 12 units apart, 2a = 12, a = 6, and a2 =
36. The length of the conjugate axis is 16 units, so
2b = 16, b = 8, and b2 = 64.

SOLUTION:a. From the graph, you can see that the transverse axis is vertical, so the standard form of the equation
is =1.
The center is located at the midpoint of the vertices, or (5, 4). So, h = 5 and k = 4. Because the
vertices are 6 units apart, 2a = 6, a = 3, and a2 = 9.
The length of the conjugate axis is 2b = 10. So, b =
5 and b2 = 25.
Using the values of h, k , a, and b, the equation for
the hyperbola is =1.
b. The length of the narrowest width of the building is 6 units. Since each units represents 15 feet, the length of the narrowest width is (15)(6) or 90 feet.

54.PHYSICS An hyperbola occurs naturally when two nearly identical glass plates in contact on one edge and separated by about 5 millimeters at the otheredgearedippedinathickliquid.Theliquidwill rise by capillarity to form a hyperbola caused by the surface tension. Find a model for the hyperbola if the conjugate axis is 50 centimeters and the transverse axis is 30 centimeters.

57.vertical transverse axis centered at the origin
SOLUTION:From the definition of a hyperbola, you know that the absolute value of the difference of distances from any point P(x, y) on a hyperbola to the foci is
constant, so |PF1 PF2| = 2a. Since you want to
determine the equation for a hyperbola with a vertical transverse axis centered at the origin, use the distance formula d =
