Noah marks two signal towers on a map at the foci (-6, 0) and (6, 0). A hyperbola passes through (6, 5). What is the difference of the point's distances to the foci?
Ren traces a lamp's light on a wall: a hyperbola with foci (0, -12) and (0, 12) through (10, 12). What is the difference of the point's distances to the foci?
Tala marks two signal towers on a map at the foci (-14, 0) and (14, 0). A hyperbola passes through (6, 15). What is the difference of the point's distances to the foci?
Zee draws a hyperbola on graph paper with foci (-12, 0) and (12, 0). It passes through (12, 7). What is the difference of the point's distances to the foci?
