Question 109

Multiple Choice

Solve the problem.
-Suppose that two microphones 2,800 m apart at points A = (1,400, 0) and B = (-1,400, 0) detect the sound of a rifle shot. The time difference between the sound detected at A and the sound detected at B is 2 sec. If sound travels at approximately 330 m/sec, find an equation of the hyperbola with foci
At A and B defining the points where the shooter may be located.


A) x23302y21,3612=1\frac { x ^ { 2 } } { 330 ^ { 2 } } - \frac { y ^ { 2 } } { 1,361 ^ { 2 } } = 1
B) x21,4002y23302=1\frac { x ^ { 2 } } { 1,400 ^ { 2 } } - \frac { y ^ { 2 } } { 330 ^ { 2 } } = 1
C) x22,8002y22,7212=1\frac { x ^ { 2 } } { 2,800 ^ { 2 } } - \frac { y ^ { 2 } } { 2,721 ^ { 2 } } = 1
D) y21,3612x23302=1\frac { y ^ { 2 } } { 1,361 ^ { 2 } } - \frac { x ^ { 2 } } { 330 ^ { 2 } } = 1
