y? 4. A comet's path can be modeled by one branch of the hyperbola 1096 1, 41334 where the sun is at the focus of that part of the hyperbola. Each unit of the coordinate system is 1 milloion miles. find the coordinates of the sun(assuming it is at the focus with non-negative coordinates). Round to the nearest hundredth. How close does the comet come to the sun?

Sonic boom The position of a sonic boom caused by the faster-than-sound aircraft is one branch of the hyperbola y2x2=25 in the coordinate system shown. How wide is the hyperbola 5 miles from its vertex?
Find the standard form of the equation of the hyperbola with vertices (0,3) and asymptotes y=32x
When an airplane travels faster than the speed of sound, the sound waves form a cone behind the airplane. If the airplane is flying parallel to the ground, then the sound waves intersect the ground in a hyperbola with the airplane directly above its center, and a sonic boom is heard along the hyperbola. You hear a sonic boom that is audible along a hyperbola with the equation (x2/100)(y2/4)=1, where x and y are measured in miles. What is the shortesthorizontal distance you could be from the airplane?
Road Design Roads are often designed with parabolic surfaces to allow rain to drain off. A particular road is 32 feet wide and 0.4 foot higher in the center than it is on the sides (see figure). (a) Write an equation of the parabola with its vertex at the origin that models the road surface. (b) How far from the center of the road is the road surface 0.1 foot lower than the center?
The graph of the equation x2a2+y2b2=1 with a > 0, b > 0 is a hyperbola with ____ (horizontal/vertical) transverse axis, vertices ( __, __ ) and ( __, __ ) and foci (0,c) , where c = ___. So the graph of x242y232=1 is a hyperbola with vertices ( __, __ ) and ( __, __ ) and foci ( __, __ ) and ( __, __ ).
