I got center of (0,0) and a=4 b= 2.4 (or is it plus or minus 2.4) and c I got 4.7. Does that seem right?

4. ## Re: Hyperbola standard form help

And y=4/2.4x or y=-4/2.4x

5. ## Re: Hyperbola standard form help

And for foci I got (0,4.7) and (0,-4.7). I know u said no decimals but I'm practicing for a test next week and professor said use decimals.

You have been told not to use decimals. I guess you don't want our help. Bye Bye

Center (0,0) a=4 b=square root of 6, c=square root of 22. And foci of (0,square root of 22) and (0,- square root of 22) and y=4/square root of 22 and y=-4/square root of 22. Yes I do want your help please!
