20. The Loran navigation system uses
hyperbolas. Suppose a ship receives signals
from two stations 24 miles apart, located at
(0,−12) and (0,12) on a coordinate plane.
The time delay of the signal indicates the
ship is 8 miles closer to the first station. Find
the equation of the hyperbola the ship lies
on.
