Ciara flies a drone around an object that is 190 feet west and 230 feet south of her position. The drone flies a circular path around the object. The drone's path takes it over a point that is 150 feet west and 180 feet north of her. Find an equation for the drone's path. (Assume Ciara is located at the origin, with the horizontal axis running east-west and the vertical axis running north-south) The drone's path follows the equation Will the drone ever be directly south of Ciara's position? Yes No Impossible to determine If the drone is ever south of Ciara's position, how far south will it be? If the drone is never south of Ciara's position, explain why not.
