A creek is rising at a rate of 2 inches per hour. If the creek raises more than 3 feet, it will exceed flood stage. How long can the river rise at this rate without exceeding flood stage? (Remember there are 12 inches in a foot.) *

answerthe vertex form

step-by-step explanation:

answer: it depends on what the tax percentage

let's first notice, the center of the hyperbola is at the origin, since the focus points are equidistantly 3 units away from the origin, that also means that the distance "c" from the center to either focus is 3.

it should also be notable that, the traverse axis for this hyperbola is vertical, or namely over the y-axis and therefore, the positive fraction will be the one with y-variable.

the traverse "a" component or distance from the center to either vertex is not 2, is more than 2, so we can safely put it at √5 ≈ 2.24.
