Two stations, located at ?(−5,0) and ?(5,0) (units in kilometers), simultaneously send sound signals to a ship, with the signal travelling at the speed of 0.33 km/s. If the signal from ? was received by the ship four seconds before the signal it received from ?, find the equation of the curve containing the possible location of the ship.
