- When an airplane travels faster than the speed of sound, the sound waves form a cone behind the airplane. If the airplane is flying parallel to the ground, then the sound waves intersect the ground in a hyperbola with the airplane directly above its center, and a sonic boom is heard along the hyperbola. You hear a sonic boom that is audible along a hyperbola with the equation (x2/100)(y2/4)=1, where x and y are measured in miles. What is the shortesthorizontal distance you could be from the airplane?arrow_forwardSonic boom The position of a sonic boom caused by the faster-than-sound aircraft is one branch of the hyperbola y2x2=25 in the coordinate system shown.

Find the longest distance across the pool, the shortest distance, and the distance between the foci.arrow_forward
- The light bulb in a flashlight is at the focus of the parabolic reflector, 1.5 centimeters from the vertex of the reflector (see figure). Write an equation for a cross section of the flashlight’s reflector with its focus on the positive x-axis and its vertex at the origin.arrow_forwardParabolic Reflector A lamp with a parabolic reflector is shown in the figure. The bulb is placed at the focus, and the focal diameter is 12 cm. Find an equation of the parabola. Find the diameter d(C, D) of the opening, 20 cm from the vertex.arrow_forward
