Solve Problems Using Systems of Nonlinear Equations
-A system for tracking ships indicated that a ship lies on a hyperbolic path described by $6 \mathrm { x } ^ { 2 } - \mathrm { y } ^ { 2 } = 18$ . The process is repeated and the ship is found to lie on a hyperbolic path described by $y ^ { 2 } - 3 x ^ { 2 } = 9$ . If it is known that the ship is located in the first quadrant of the coordinate system, determine its exact location.
