Consider the following scenario:
A drum used for percussion has sides modeled by a hyperbola.Suppose the total height of the drum is known. The diameter at thetop of the drum is 16 inches, and the minimum diameter is 7 inches,occurring at a height of 9 inches. Assume that the center of thehyperbola occurs at the height where the diameter is theleast.
Choose your own value for the height of the drum based on thescenario above and address the following:
- Draw a graph or figure to represent this situation.
- Describe how the concepts from this module can be applied inthis case.
- Determine the equation of a hyperbola that models the sides ofthe drum.
- Provide another example of a scenario that involves the sameconcept.
