Question
Three companies build towers to provide signals of mobile phones in a remote
area. The map is place on the grid, the coordinates that corresponds to the
location of each tower are as follows: Tower A is at (-4, 4) with a radius of 5, Tower
B is at (6, -2) with a radius of 6 and Tower C is at (0,-4) with a radius of 3.
a. Give the equation represents the transmission boundaries of each tower?
b. Which tower transmits calls to phone located at the following coordinates:
(-3,7)?
c. If you were a cellular phone user and live at the point of origin, which phone
network will you subscribe? Why?
-, (3,4)?
(1,-3)?.
