To show that the set of all points such that the difference of their distances from the points \( (4, 0) \) and \( (-4, 0) \) is always equal to 2 represents a hyperbola, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Define the points and the distances Let \( A(4, 0) \) and \( B(-4, 0) \) be the two fixed points. Let \( P(x, y) \) be a point in the plane. The distances from \( P \) to \( A \) and \( B \) are given by: \[ PA = \sqrt{(x - 4)^2 + y^2} \] \[ ...
