In which direction does the hyperbola defined by the equation below open?
Check all that apply.
(x-3)^2/4^2-(y+5)^2/2^2=1
------------
(x-3)^2/16 - (y+5)^2/4 = 1

Comment:l
Notice that when y = -5, you can solve for "x"
---
Notice that when x = 3, you cannot solve for "x"
-----
Notice that the center of the hyperbola is at (3,-5)
------
Since the curve cannot cross the line x = 3, it must
open to the right and to the left.
