HYPERBOLAS IN STANDARD POSITION (0, c) (-c, 0) (c, 0) -b --- (0, -c) The derivations of these equations are similar to those already given for parabolas and ellipses, so we will leave them as exercises. However, to illustrate how the equations of the asymptotes are derived, we will derive those equations for the hyperbola

2. NAROL is a long range hyperbolic navigation system. Suppose two NAROL transmitters are located at the coordinates (-200,0) and (200,0), where the unit distance on the coordinate plane is measured in miles and a reciever is located somewhere in the first quadrant. The reciever computes that the difference in the distances from the reciever to these transmitters is 160 miles What is the standard form of the hyperbola that the reciever sits on if the transmitters behave as foci of the hyperbola?
