What is the length of the transverse axis? (x-2) ^2/36 - (y+1) ^2/64=1

To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:

1. You have the following standard form for the hyperbola given in the problem above: (x-2) ^2/36 - (y+1) ^2/64=1

2. Therefore, you can calculate the lengtn of the transverse axis as following:

Length of transverse axis=2a

a^2=36

a=√36

a=6

Length of transverse axis=2 (6) = 12

Then, the answer is:12
