Find the xy equation of the curve on which Brian is located. 2006-02-20
From Skye:
Andrew, located at (0, -2200) fired a rifle. The sound echoed off a cliff at (0,2200) to Brian, located at point (x,y). Brian heard the echo 6 seconds after he heard the original shot. Find the xy equation of the curve on which Brian is located. Assume the distances are in feet and that sound travels at 1100 feet/second. (hint: find the equation of the hyperbola)
