Find an equation that models the path of a satellite if its path is a hyperbola, a = 55,000 km, and c= 81,000 km. assume the center of the hyperbola is the origin and the transverse axis is horizontal.

Step-by-step explanation:

the transverse axis is horizontal.

so its a horizontal hyperbola

Center is the origin so center is (0,0)

Equation of horizontal hyperbola is

Given a= 55000 and c= 81000

c^2 = a^2 + b^2

81000^2 = 55000^2 + b^2

subtract 55000^2 on both sides

b  = sqrt(81000^2 - 55000^2)= 59464.27

now plug in the values

im pretty sure it would be 5 am, hope that , and give brainliest and guys if this is right then press the button and give 5 stars
