Question 1166144: Two control towers are located at points Q(500, 0) and R(500, 0), on a straight shore where the x-axis runs through (all distances are in meters). At the same moment, both towers sent a radio signal to a ship out at sea, each traveling at 300 m/�s. The ship received the signal from Q 3 �s (microseconds)before the message from R. Find the equation of the curve containing the possible location of the ship.

Hey, your post is highly inaccurate, making points Q(500,0) and R(500,0) coinciding.

HIGHLY INNACURATE, INADEQUATE and MISGUIDING (!)
