Answer:
Let the point P be (x,y)
The distance between P(x,y) and A(3,0) is
(3−x)
2
+(0−y)

The distance between P(x,y) and B(−3,0) is
(−3−x)
2
+(0−y)

Given that PA=2PB
⟹
(3−x)
2
+y

=2
(−3−x)
2
+y

squaring on both sides
⟹(3−x)
2
+y

=4((−3−x)
2
+y

)
⟹9+x

=4(9+x

)
⟹9+x
2
−6x+y

=36+4x
2
+24x+4y
2
⟹3x
2
+3y
2
+30x+27=0
Therefore, the locus of the point P is 3x
2
+3y
2
+30x+27=0
