Question:An architect designs two houses that are shaped and positioned like a part of the branches of the hyperbola whose equation is 625y^2 - 400x^2=250‚000‚ where x and y are in yards. How far apart are the houses at their closeset point? Answers:625y^2 - 400x^2=250‚000 y^2 / 20^2 - x^2 / 25^2 = 1 The closest two points on separate branches are the vertices‚ and their separation is 2 * 20 = 40yd. I find the question a little confusing‚ though. Question:LORAN (long distance radio navigation)
