document.write( "Two ground stations are located by its coordinates as A(0,0) and B(0,5),the unit being 1km. An airplane pilot conducting a reconnaisance survey knows from the radar that at a certain instant he is 3 km. nearer B than A. What is the equation of the curve that defines this data? I hope you will answer this question. Thanks. </SPAN>\n" );
