The document provides information about hyperbolas including their key properties and equations. It gives the standard form of the hyperbola equation and provides two examples of converting equations to standard form and graphing hyperbolas. It also gives an example of using the properties of a hyperbola to find the possible locations of an explosion based on the time difference sound reached two microphones.

45. Applications M 2 M 1 An explosion is recorded by two microphones that are two miles apart. M1 received the sound 4 seconds before M2. assuming that sound travels at 1100 ft/sec, determine the possible locations of the explosion relative to the locations of the microphones. (5280, 0) (-5280, 0) E(x,y) Let us begin by establishing a coordinate system with the origin midway between the microphones Since the sound reached M 2 4 seconds after it reached M 1 , the difference in the distances from the explosion to the two microphones must be d 2 d 1 1100(4) = 4400 ft wherever E is This fits the definition of an hyperbola with foci at M 1 and M 2 Since d 2 d 1 = transverse axis, a = 2200 x 2 y 2 4,840,000 23,038,400 = 1 x 2 y 2 a 2 b 2 = 1 c 2 = a 2 + b 2 5280 2 = 2200 2 + b 2 b 2 = 23,038,400 The explosion must be on the hyperbola
