Answer:
The orbit of a planet around a star is described by the equation where the star is at one focus, and all units are in millions
of kilometers. The planet is closest and farthest from the star, when it is at the vertices. How far is the planet when it is
closest to the sun? How far is the planet when it is farthest from the sun?
Answer: 700 million km, 900 million km
Rotate the axes to eliminate the xy-term in the equation. Then write the equation in standard form.
A big room is constructed so that the ceiling is a dome that is semielliptical in shape. If a person stands at one focus and
speaks, the sound that is made bounces off the ceiling and gets reflected to the other focus. Thus, if two people stand at the
foci (ignoring their heights), they will be able to hear each other. If the room is 34 m long and 8 m high, how far from the
center should each of two people stand if they would like to whisper back and forth and hear each other?
Answer: 15 m

An orbit of a satellite around a planet is an ellipse, with the planet at one focus of this ellipse. The distance of the satellite
from this star varies from 300,000 km to 500,000 km, attained when the satellite is at each of the two vertices. Find the
equation of this ellipse, if its center is at the origin, and the vertices are on the x-axis. Assume all units are in 100,000 km.
