Which graph represents the hyperbola the fraction with numerator x squared and denominator 3 squared minus the fraction with numerator y squared and denominator 8 squared is equal to 1 ?
Answer
A
Image with description A four-quadrant coordinate plane. A hyperbola is shown centered at the origin. The transverse axis has endpoints at (negative 8 comma 0) and (8 comma 0). The branches of the hyperbola open left and right. A dashed box is shown around the points (negative 8 comma 0), (0 comma 3), (8 comma 0), and (0 comma negative 3).
B
Image with description A four-quadrant coordinate plane. A hyperbola is shown centered at the origin. The transverse axis has endpoints at (negative 3 comma 0) and (3 comma 0). The branches of the hyperbola open left and right. A dashed box is shown around the points (negative 3 comma 0), (0 comma 8), (3 comma 0), and (0 comma negative 8).
C
Image with description A four-quadrant coordinate plane. A hyperbola is shown centered at the origin. The transverse axis has endpoints at (0 comma negative 8) and (0 comma 8). The branches of the hyperbola open up and down. A dashed box is shown around the points (negative 3 comma 0), (0 comma 8), (3 comma 0), and (0 comma negative 8).
D
Image with description A four-quadrant coordinate plane. A hyperbola is shown centered at the origin. The transverse axis has endpoints at (0 comma negative 3) and (0 comma 3). The branches of the hyperbola open up and down. A dashed box is shown around the points (negative 8 comma 0), (0 comma 3), (8 comma 0), and (0 comma negative 3).
