Two stations \(A\) and \(B\) of a LORAN system are 200 \(km\) away on a straight coast. Station B is to the west, and station A is to the east.
One ship receives the signal from the station \(B\), 0.0004 seconds before the signal from the station \(A\). The speed of the signal is 300,000 \(km/sec\).
-
If the ship sails to the coast keeping a constant time difference, find the equation of the route.
-
At what point will the ship reach the coast?
-
If the dock is located between the two stations, 70 \(km\) away from the station \(B\), find the time difference the ship must keep.
-
Two observers are stationed at points \(F_1=(-200, 0)\) and \(F_2=(200, 0)\) on the XY plane. An explosion occurs at a certain point on the XY plane and is heard by the observer at \(F_2\) one second before it is heard by the observer at \(F_1\). Determine the equation of the hyperbola where the explosion occurred.
-
Find the equation of the set of points \(P\) in the plane such that the distance from \(P\) to the point (−2, 1) is \(\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}\) times the distance from \(P\) to the line \(x = -\frac{3}{2}\).
-
Let \(P=(x_1, y_1)\) be a point of the hyperbola \(\cfrac{x^2}{a^2}-\cfrac{y^2}{b^2}=1\).
-
Prove that the slope of the tangent line to the hyperbola at the point \(P = (x_1, y_1)\) is:
\[
m=\frac{b^2 x_1}{a^2 y_1}
\]
Hint: The line \(T\): \(y = m(x-x_1) + y_1\) pass through \(P = (x_1, y_1)\). \(T\) is tangent to the hyperbola if they intercept at a single point. Follow the same steps given in the solved problem 3.2.6.
Another Hint: Wait until you learn derivatives.
-
Prove that the a equation of the tangent line \(T\) to the hyperbola at the point \(P=(x_1, y_1)\) is:
\[
\cfrac{x_1 x}{a^2}-\cfrac{y_1 y}{b^2}=1
\]
