Calculate the equation of the two hyperbolas that would locate the explosion.
Answer to Problem 54RE
The two parabolic equation are
Explanation of Solution
Given:
It is given in the question that there will be two friends live
Concept Used:
In this, use the concept of hyperbolas and the equation
Calculation: Convert
Let the points be:
A
B
C
Therefore, the standard equation will be:
The two hyperbolas can be obtained by letting the foci A & B for case i & foci A & C fro case ii.
Case (i) : (Foci A & B)
The center is :
Since your friend in the east heard the explosion
Solving
The equation will be:
Case (ii) : (Foci A & C)
The center is :
Since your friend in the east heard the explosion
Solving
The equation will be:
Conclusion:
The two parabolic equation are
