Loran is a long range hyperbolic navigation system. suppose two loran transmitters are located at the coordinates and , where unit distance on the coordinate plane is measured in miles a receiver is located somewhere in the first quadrant. the receiver computes that the difference in the distances from the receiver to these transmitters is 180 miles. what is the standard form of the hyperbola that the receiver sits on if the transmitters behave as foci of the hyperbola?

x = -3

y = -18

step-by-step explanation:

to solve by substitution, substitute one variable and solve for the other. then substitute again to find the remaining variable.

x-1/3(3x-9) = -3 since y=3x-9 substittute y.

x-1/3(3x-9)=-3

x + x +3 = -3

2x+3=-3

2x+3-3= -3-3

2x=-6

x=-3

substitute again into y=3x-9

y=3(-3)-9

y=-9-9

y=-18

3

step-by-step explanation:

divide 13.5 by 9 to get the scale factor. it equals 1.5

2 * 1.5 = 3

this is a good question! i'll do some research and come back when i have the answer!
