The centre of the circle passing through the point (0, 1) and touching the curve $$\,y = {x^2}$$ at (2, 4) is

Given the points $$A\left( {0,4} \right)$$ and $$B\left( {0, - 4} \right)$$, the equation of the locus of the point $$P\left( {x,y} \right)$$ such that $$\left| {AP - BP} \right| = 6$$ is .............

The coordinates of $$A, B, C$$ are $$(6, 3), (-3, 5), (4, -2)$$ respectively, and $$P$$ is any point $$(x, y)$$. Show that the ratio of the area of the triangles $$\Delta $$ $$PBC$$ and $$\Delta $$$$ABC$$ is $$\left| {{{x + y - 2} \over 7}} \right|$$

A river is flowing from west to east at a speed of 5 meters per minute. A man on the south bank of the river, capable of swimming at 10 meters per minute in still water, wants to swim across the river in the shortest time. He should swim in a direction
