Copyright © 2014, 2010, 2007 Pearson Education, Inc. 3 The Two Branches of a Hyperbola The line through the foci intersects the hyperbola at two points, called the vertices. The line segment that joins the vertices is the transverse axis. The midpoint of the transverse axis is the center of the hyperbola.

For both equations, b2 = c2 – a2. Equivalently, c2 = a2 + b2.

The foci are at 0, 41 and 0, 41 .

Because the foci are located at (0, –5) and (0, 5), the transverse axis lies on the y-axis. Thus, the form of the equation is y 2 x 2 2 1. 2 a b The distance from the center to either vertex is 3, so a = 3.

Microphone M1 receives the sound 3 seconds before microphone M2. Assuming sound travels at 1100 feet per second, determine the possible locations of the explosion relative to the location of the microphones. We begin by putting the microphones in a coordinate system. Copyright © 2014, 2010, 2007 Pearson Education, Inc. 34 Example: An Application Involving Hyperbolas (continued) We know that M1 received the sound 3 seconds before M2. Because sound travels at 1100 feet per second, the difference between the distance from P to M1 and the distance from P to M2 is 3300 feet. The set of all points P (or locations of the explosion) satisfying these conditions fits the definition of a hyperbola, with microphones M1 and M2 at the foci. Copyright © 2014, 2010, 2007 Pearson Education, Inc. 35 Example: An Application Involving Hyperbolas (continued) We will use the standard form of the hyperbola’s equation. P(x, y), the explosion point, lies on this hyperbola. x2 y 2 2 1 2 a b The differences between the distances is 3300 feet. Thus, 2a = 3300 and a = 1650. x2 y2 2 1 2 1650 b x2 y2 2 1 2,722,500 b Copyright © 2014, 2010, 2007 Pearson Education, Inc. 36 Example: An Application Involving Hyperbolas (continued) The distance from the center, (0, 0), to either focus (–5280, 0) or (5280, 0) is 5280. Thus, c = 5280. c2 a 2 b2 52802 16502 b 2 b2 52802 16502 25,155,900 The equation of the hyperbola with a microphone at each focus is x2 y2 1. 2,722,500 25,155,900 We can conclude that the explosion occurred somewhere on the right branch (the branch closer to M1) of the hyperbola given by this equation.
