For a short interval of time, a military supply plane flies on a hyperbolic path given by the equation
a. What are the coordinates of the point on the flight path closest to the ground?
b. When the plane reaches its closest point to the ground, it drops a bag of supplies to people on the ground. Assuming that the plane is traveling
c. Determine the coordinates of the point where the bag hits the ground.
