The equation of the hyperbola is : 
The center of a hyperbola is located at the origin that means at (0, 0) and one of the focus is at (-50, 0)
As both center and the focus are lying on the x-axis, so the hyperbola is a horizontal hyperbola and the standard equation of horizontal hyperbola when center is at origin:
The distance from center to focus is 'c' and here focus is at (-50,0)
So, c= 50
Now if the distance from center to the directrix line is 'd', then

Here the directrix line is given as : x= 2304/50
Thus, 
⇒ 
⇒ a² = 2304
⇒ a = √2304 = 48
For hyperbola, b² = c² - a²
⇒ b² = 50² - 48² (By plugging c=50 and a = 48)
⇒ b² = 2500 - 2304
⇒ b² = 196
⇒ b = √196 = 14
So, the equation of the hyperbola is :

<span>3 = log(8) + log(x³) </span>
<span>When adding logs, you are multiplying the terms altogether. </span>
<span>3 = log(8x³) </span>
<span>Then, by log_a b = n ==> aⁿ = b: </span>
<span>10³ = 8x³ [Since the base is not given, I assume that the base is 10] </span>
<span>1000 = 8x³ </span>
<span>Finally, solve for x. </span>
<span>1000/8 = x³ </span>
<span>x³ = 125 </span>
<span>x = (125)^(1/3) . . .Set both sides to the power of 1/3. </span>
<span>x = 5 </span>
<span>Hence, x = 5. </span>
They ran the same amount of miles, because the zero at the end doesn't count.
