Question

Transcribed Image Text:**Educational Website Content**
### Problem Statement
Two radio transmitters positioned 400 km apart along the shore send simultaneous signals to a ship that is 200 km offshore and sailing parallel to the shoreline. The signal from transmitter S reaches the ship 200 microseconds later than the signal from transmitter T. The signals travel at a speed of 186,000 miles per second, or 0.186 miles per microsecond. Find the equation of the hyperbola with foci S and T on which the ship is located. (Hint: For any point on the hyperbola, the absolute value of the difference of its distances from the foci is 2a.)
**Diagram Explanation:**
The diagram shows:
- Two radio transmitters, labeled as S and T, positioned 400 km apart along a line representing the shoreline.
- A ship that is indicated to be 200 km offshore, represented by an arrow pointing downward from the line of transmitters.
- The ship's position shows the hyperbolic path with the ship as a point on the hyperbola, marked by a dashed line extending from both transmitters.
### Question 1
**Problem:** Assume the origin is located at the midpoint of the foci. What is the equation of the hyperbola with foci S and T on which the ship is located?
**Hint:** Simplify your answer. Type your answer in standard form.
