Hi,
a = 8, length of the transverse axis(distance between the vertices) = 16
Note: Standard Form of an Equation of an Hyperbola opening right and left is:
with C(h,k) and vertices 'a' units right and left of center, 2a the length of the transverse axis
Foci are units right and left of center along y = k
& Asymptotes Lines passing thru C(h,k), with slopes m = ± b/a
G(x) = (x - 8)^2 + 6 has the same shape as F(x) = x^2 + 6, how far to the right of F(x) is G(x) shifted?
G(x) = (x - 8)^2 + 6 parabola V(8,6)
F(x) = x^2 + 6 parabola V(0,6)
G(x) shifted 8 units to the right
