SOLUTION: i must graph x^2/16 - y^2/25=1. i must show the x intercepts, the extent of the graph and the asymptotes. i have it graphed as an ellipse with the x intercepts at +- 5 but im not s

--------------
Use F6 to enter the relationship as it's written.
------------
The signs of x^2 and y^2 terms are different, so it's a hyperbola
