47-58 ■ Graphing Shifted Conics Complete the square to deter-mine whether the graph of the equation is an ellipse, a parabola, a hyperbola, or a degenerate conic. If the graph is an ellipse, find the center, foci, vertices, and lengths of the major and minor axes. If it is a parabola, find the vertex, focus, and directrix. If it is a hyper-bola, find the center, foci, vertices, and asymptotes. Then sketch the graph of the equation. If the equation has no graph, explain why.

- Sonic boom The position of a sonic boom caused by the faster-than-sound aircraft is one branch of the hyperbola y2x2=25 in the coordinate system shown. How wide is the hyperbola 5 miles from its vertex?arrow_forwardaUse the discriminant to determine whether the graph of the following equation is a parabola, an ellipse, or a hyperbola: 5x2+4xy+2y2=18 b Use rotation of axes to eliminate the xy-term in the equation. c Sketch a graph of the equation. d Find the coordinates of the vertices of this conic in the xy-coordinate system.arrow_forwardDiscovery and Writing Describe a hyperbola.arrow_forward
- Fill in the blanks. The line segment connecting the vertices of a hyperbola is the , and its midpoint is the of the hyperbola.arrow_forwardRoad Design Roads are often designed with parabolic surfaces to allow rain to drain off. A particular road is 32 feet wide and 0.4 foot higher in the center than it is on the sides (see figure). (a) Write an equation of the parabola with its vertex at the origin that models the road surface. (b) How far from the center of the road is the road surface 0.1 foot lower than the center?arrow_forward
