You're at the aquarium, staring into a large exhibit, when you look to your left and slightly downward and you see a jellyfish. You notice that the jellyfish body looks like a very wide, upside-down parabola. What is a possible equation that models the jellyfish, assuming your eyes are at (0, 0)? a) -2(x + 3)? + 4 b) -.3(x - 2) - 1 2/5(x + 1) - 5 c) d) e) 3(x - 4)2 + 2 Answer is not there

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?
