Math Problem

[Jriggle45]

Heres a real tum tigger:
Two people standing 10000 feet apart see lightning strike. One person hears thunder 5 seconds after the other person. Because sound travels at 1100 feet per second, one person is 5500 feet farther from the lightning strike than the other. The possible locations of the strike then form a hyperbola with the two people at the foci. Place the orgin midway between the two people, and write an equation that could be used to represent the possible locations of the lightning strike.

Psh, I'm not going to use up my amazing mathematical skills on such an unworthy just for your amusement.

Plus, I have no idea what a foci is.

I think it's a kind of fungus.

foci are the two "center points" in the middle of an ellipses.

psssh that's easy i always been good at math......ok lets see...

if Y=C and B is T then C-3 is F%6
Y x T 1% + C5(a)- E=square root of pie


see simple :p:D:cool:

Not enough information....

Where are they at?

Are they on a Golf Course?

Is one of them wearing Stainless Steel underwear?

Does one person hate the other person? Does one person love the other person?

Is one person on an eastbound train while the other is on westbound train, both traveling at the speed of light, on one track, do they collide before the lightning strikes? Do they serve coffee on the train, and does either of them drink coffee?

Do you think it is possible for KeystoneMan to not post in the General Forums for one day?

After two 4-0 sweeps bye the Cleveland Cavaliers in the NBA Playoffs, is it now safe to say that LeBron James is the basketball Jesus?

Why would two people be standing outside in a thunderstorm?

Wait James... Say Hallelujah - That's one proper basketball player..
The Court Jesus that saved Cleveland B-Ball ..
Wait did not one proceed him with a number 23 ..Saint Micheal in Chicago,USA? sure was not Billy Corgan

Now if he only played Football [soccer] I know a team in need of saving from the drop...
