15. The long-range navigation system (LORAN) uses hyperbolas to enable a ship to determine its exact location by radio. (This technique is becoming obsolete by the implementation of GSP {Global Positioning System, but it still used as backup). Two LORAN radio transmitters A and B are situated on a straight line separated by 200 km. The two stations simultaneously transmit signals at regular intervals. Determine an equation of a hyperbola described by the flight path of an aircraft when the on board radio receiver determines that it is 20 km closer to station B than to station A. Draw a rough diagram that illustrates where the plane is on the hyperbola with respect to the transmitters (foci)
