Question
A system for tracking ships indicates that a ship lies on a path described by \(2 y^{2}-x^{2}=1\).The process is repeated and the ship is found to lie on a path described by \(2 x^{2}-y^{2}=1\). If it is known that the ship is located in the first quadrant of the coordinate system, determine its exact location.
Solution
The first step in solving 5.4 problem number trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: A system for tracking ships indicates that a ship lies on a path described by \(2 y^{2}-x^{2}=1\).The process is repeated and the ship is found to lie on a path described by \(2 x^{2}-y^{2}=1\). If it is known that the ship is located in the first quadrant of the coordinate system, determine its exact location.
From the textbook chapter Systems of Equations and Inequalities - Systems of Nonlinear Equations in Two Variables you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
