Which equation below represents a generic equation suggested by a graph showing a hyperbola?
A hyperbola is another form of a conical section graph like a parabola or ellipse. Its general form is x^2/a - y^2/b = 1.
How do you graph the equation yx plus 4?
That's not an equation, so there's nothing to graph. Simple way to tell: There's no "equals" sign in it.
What equation represents the graph of a circle?
Equation of a circle when its centre is at (0, 0): x^2 + y^2 = radius^2 Equation of a circle when its centre is at (a, b): (x-a)^2 + (y-b)^2 = radius^2
What is the graph of the equation y equals x translated 4 units up?
It is y = x + 4
Is an oval a graph of a function?
No, the graph of an oval/ellipse is not a function because it does not pass the vertical line test.
X2 plus y2 equals 4?
The graph of that equation is a circle, centered at the origin, with radius = 2 .
Is a graph of a quadratic function always a parabola?
No. It can also be a circle, ellipse or hyperbola.
What does a nonlinear graph look like?
any graph that is not represented by a line,ie: parabola, hyperbola, circle, ellipse,etc
Graph the equation -5y equals -40?
35
How do you plot the graph of a quadratic equation?
Just like any other equation, you can set up a table of x values, and calculate the corresponding y values. Then plot the points on the graph. In this case, it helps to have some familiarity with quadratic equations (you can find a discussion in algebra books), and recognize (from the form of the equation) whether your quadratic equation represents a parabola, a circle, an ellipse, or a hyperbola.
Choose the absolute value equation or inequality whose solution matches the graph -9 and 9 are plotted closed circle on the graph. Is it x equals 9 or x equals -9 or x greater than or equal to 9?
x=9
How do you graph the equation x squared plus y squared equals 16?
You are describing a circle, with its center at the origin and a radius of 4 (the square root of 16)
What does the graph of the equation 2x-3y equals 6 look like?
The equation 2x - 3y = 6 is a linear equation and a linear equation is always has a straight line as a graph
What should you watch for when analyzing a circle graph?
you should watch that the graph equals 100 percent
How do you tell between a parabola and a circle by just looking at their equations?
The equations for any conic section (which includes both parabolas and circles) can be written in the following form: Ax^2+Bxy+Cy^2+Dx+Ey+F=0 Some terms might be missing, in which case their coefficient is 0. The way to figure out if the equation is a parabola, circle, ellipse, or hyperbola is to look at the value of B^2-4AC: If it's negative, the graph is an ellipse (of which a circle is a special case). If it's 0, the graph is a parabola. If it's positive, the graph is a hyperbola. The special case of a circle happens when B is 0 -- there is no "xy" term -- and A=C.
What is the slope of the equation y equals -x?
The equation has no slope. The graph of the equation is a straight line with a slope of -1 .
Which equation below represents a generic equation suggested by a graph showing a hyperbola?
A hyperbola is another form of a conical section graph like a parabola or ellipse. Its general form is x^2/a - y^2/b = 1.
